Hi,  
  
I’m wondering if it’s possible to add a key lookup variable prompt type to Continua. I’d like users to be able to select a variable ‘key’ from a drop down list, but have the ‘value’ of that key hidden. For example I’d like a drop down list of strings, but each string actually represents an integer value. Like an enumeration or hashtable. I couldn’t see any way to do this currently, is this a feature that could potentially be added?  
  
Regards,

---

Hi Luke, this sounds like a good idea, I will add it to the project backlog for further consideration. Thanks again
