Ability to add labels to picklists
It would be nice to be able to add labels to picklists that have sub-values as in the attached image. You could argue that creating a dependent picklist would do nearly the same thing. This is true but we are trying to make SF as easy and as user friendly as possible and there are few things sales people like less than filling in data. They want to sell, not be bogged down with data entry. If we can reduce the clicks required from a user we can gather more accurate and consistent data. This type of picklist would also be useful when there are more than one dependency. Currently you can't do muliti-dependent picklists. (At least I don't think you can) Ex) Two picklists: Vehicle Brand and Vehicle Type, Toyota and SUV. The third picklist would then display all Toyota SUVs. Even if this were possible it would require 3 data inputs. Or you could just select Vehicle Type (Car) and be presented with a picklist like the image attached showing only cars.

Couldn't you do this with dependent picklists? http://blogs.salesforce.com/features/2006/03/dependent_pickl.html |

Do you need this for an Automotive App? Check: http://www.salesforce.com/appexchange/detail_overview.jsp?NavCode__c=&id=a033... |

I actually just used the automobile example for the sake of simplicity, thanks for the tip though. |
