This type of custom attribute definition allows users to select a value for the
category among a list of predefined entries.
Let's take the example of a variety
of datasets consolidating the results of polls and surveys taken by employees from different
departments of your company. Each of these dataset contains information about a specific
department or business domain, such as R&D, marketing, sales, etc. You want to make this
information on the business domain available as metadata for the datasets. In order to do
that, you will create a new category of custom attribute, based on a list of values, so that
users can freely add the business domain the datasets are focused on. This method will ensure
a consistent and harmonized formatting of the metadata for all datasets.
