Dropdowns for Pre-Defined Fields in Auto-Populated Playlist Rules

📋 Summary

When creating auto-populated playlists, users currently have to manually type values into fields that already have known, pre-defined options (e.g. “Status”, “Region”, “Genre”). This request proposes replacing those free-text fields with dropdowns or checkbox selectors where appropriate.

🎯 Feature Overview

  • For fields with known, finite values (like Status, Region, Genre, Play Mode, etc.), show:

    • A dropdown list of options when using “Equals” or “Not Equals”

    • A multi-select checklist when using “Has At Least One Of” or “Has None Of The Values”

  • Automatically format selected values into the correct input format (e.g. Value 1; Value 2)

🛠 Example Use Case

  • When creating a playlist filtered by “Status”, the user sees a dropdown with:

    • “Not Played”, “In Progress”, “Completed”, etc.

  • For a “Has At Least One Of” comparison on genres, a user checks “JRPG” and “Turn-Based” from a list, instead of typing manually.

📦 Benefits

  • Prevents formatting errors and typos when building rules

  • Makes rule creation much faster and more intuitive

  • Provides better visibility into what values are valid or available in each field
