Topic: New custom field types

It would be great to have the possibility to add a custom field acting as "select" type (or similarly) but taking its values from data already existing in DB (without the need to specify each allowed value manually). There should be a dedicated type for each of these fields.

For example - current custom field types:
- Text
- Textarea
- Select

Desired custom field types:
- Text
- Textarea
- Select
- Category
- Manufacturer
- Location
- Company
- Contact
- Asset
- Asset Model
- Inventory
....

Each of these new custom fields would act as "select" type, taking its allowed values from appropriate DB table.

Example of use:
We use tracmor to manage our own assets, but sometimes we have some assets belonging to other companies. We use a custom select type field ("Owner") to indicate actual owners of assets. It would be great to have it integrated with the "Companies" data.

Re: New custom field types

Thanks for the well written feature request. We will definitely consider adding this sort of capability when we add additional custom field types, such as date, integer, decimal, etc.
