This is a, semi-regularly, requested feature. Some examples below: > [@Perspective custom property type inferring](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/perspective-custom-property-type-inferring/70654/2): > > At some point, we're planning to add the ability for you to define your own 'schema' for custom properties and view parameters; until then, your workaround is probably the best option. > [@\[IGN-1537\]Perspective Component param tooltips](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/ign-1537-perspective-component-param-tooltips/53226/3): > > We have a feature in the backlog to allow defining your own schema for view parameters, such that you could do all the things we can do in props - define enums, define ‘suggestions’, define tooltips, etc. > [@Can you create a dropdown selection on embedded views?](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/can-you-create-a-dropdown-selection-on-embedded-views/95728): > > I'm working on a reusable template that takes 2 integers as parameters. Currently they are magic numbers and only numbers 0-3 are meaningful to the template. I would like to add a parameter drop down to the template so that people can embed the view and click a drop down to select a valid option from a list when passing parameters in the designer. I don't think that's currently a feature but I figured I'd ask here because someone here will know if that's possible. It will be implemented at some stage in the future... fingers crossed! --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/dropdown-props-parameter/116683)._
