Is there a way create new categories for team needs to standardize organization and consistency?
Is it possible to see all available categories and be able select from a dropdown menu?

Hello @mmwangi :vulcan_salute:

For large number of categories:
You can create a categories’ reference list from a file or table creator. Then aggregate them with the help of ‘Group by’ categories column to set data-type; and finally feed it as a variable into a ‘widget’ family node (like ‘Single Selection Widget’ node)

I wouldn’t use ‘Value Selection Widget’ node type fed by column, as from my experience working with previous versions, it limited the number of possible element choices.

Best regards
