Value
The value field behaves differently depending on the possible values that the selected product can have.
Number value
When the selected product can only have a number value arrows are displayed when the value field is clicked and only numbers can be entered.
Suggested values
When a product can have a text value it can be written directly in the value field.
This is what the value menu can look like when the Entity product has been selected.
When clicking in the value field a list of suggested elements is displayed below the field.
If the selected product can only have a limited set of values, this limited set of values is displayed in the suggested elements list.
If the selected product can have any value the suggested elements list shows a list of values that other products of this kind have.
