Hi,

An extension to the current Choice parameters is to add a parameter where you can select multiple choices and if the choice isn't inside the list you can add your own one (or multiple ones).

Currently to achieve this it's necessary to work with 2 different parameters, making it sometime very complicated.

As the Workspace developer I already know certain options, as such I can put them already in the list, however new choices can be developed every day (theoretically speaking), with the Multiple choice + text, I don't need to update the workbench everyday.

So the multiple choice or text would be a cleaner way to provide this than working with 2 different parameters.

It would be really useful to add the options 'Choice with Alias or Text' and 'Choice with Alias (Multiple) or Text' to the 'Type' drop-down menu in the Add/Edit User Parameter window.

I have a user parameter with database hostnames and would like to add the option for the user to manually enter a hostname. An alias is required for the database hostnames in the list to descibe the contents of the databases, which makes it easier for users to select the correct database.
