Is there a way, that a client can edit a custom valuelist, the same way as in Filemaker? Maby a workaround?

No, the repository is immutable for a client, use a db valuelist instead.

Jan, have you guys given some thoughts already to my question to be able to use just one field instead of a db for this? More or less like the valuelist editor that we developers have?

I would really like this...

what whould be the benefit of one field over a listview showing the db valuelist items in formDialog?

Jan, for me it would be a case of KIS (Keep It Simple)...

Let's say I have 20 valuelists that should be customizeble. Of those 20 I have 10 that need all kinds of relations so there I would indeed need a form with table view or a portal.

The other 10 however would only cost 1 record with 10 fields in there. I would simple put them on one form and there you go! No add/delete buttons or whatsoever.

Does that make sense or is it me taking the wrong approach?

I agree with IT2BE.

Did you already check if this code works?

I had forgotten about this one! It works like a charm...

Implemented it on startup of the app and I am happy now.
So disregard the previous!
