UOM property on the fieldtype

Who would benefit?

All data entry users / all user of inriver

What impact would it make?

Better UI/UX and better data management. Currently only option is to write UOM in the fieldtype name or use specifications which has many limitations compared to ‘normal’ attributes.

How should it work?

Idea / wish: ‘Unit of Measure’ can be set as a property on the fieldtype – ideally selected from a CVL to ensure consistency. Furthermore, the unit of measure property needs to be language specific so the unit of measure will show correctly in the languages applied in the data model and shown in the Webportal.

I found a post in this in the inriver community idea archive. However, I cannot find it in the aha idea portal, it provides many good inputs so please also look at this: https://community.inriver.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360007749460-One-attribute-with-3-data-points-Name-Value-UOM.

Why is it needed?
