Обсуждение: Foreign keys edit with pulldown?

It would be very nice if foreign key fields had a pulldown to select the 
value from existing values in the foreign table.  Are there any plans to 
add this functionality to pgAdminIII?

This sounds nice, I put it on the TODO list. Still, there are some 
caveats: The FK table may be too big to be usable in a combobox, we'd 
need some graceful limit here.

Well, if we're going down that road, why not also implement lookup
fields where it actually displays a relevant value from the foreign
table in the table view?
