Wish: Autocomplete & dropdown for attribute values based on attribute key

Please add autocomplete as well as dropdowns for attribute values. My workflow often involves choosing particular value names as values. In this case, if I type the value with a different capitalisation or when I make a typing error it is often difficult to diagnose at first glance what went wrong.

With an autocomplete per attribute key, I could reference an existing attribute value for a given key. With a dropdown, I could pick and choose an existing value. Both would really help with complex naming schemes as well.

In addition, it would help with Revit interoperability in Rhino.Inisde.Revit, where you have a similar system with dropdowns to set attributes values such as the wall height, alignment, wall type, etc.

Could this please be logged as feature request? I think it is one of those things that when implemented, will really help simplify the attribute workflow. Now you need to remember all the possible attributes that you have assigned, rather than let Rhino do the remembering so you can focus on getting the work done.

It would also make the Elefront Grasshopper workflow with attributes a breeze, where the attributes drive a Grasshopper script.

Absolutely it should be added. I hope it will be.
