[kepler-users] Port parameter like "combo box" - do we have something like this in Kepler

This is something I am looking for, I will investigate it further! 
Thanks for sharing this one.

When it comes to your sample file. In your png file, take a look at 
"orred" parameter on the right to SDF director. This is exactly the 
place I want to have values {7, 8, 9 } instead of just 7.

And I want to make sure that user will be able to choose from predefined 
list instead of being forced to type the value.

Cheers

Michal
