Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Example use case:
Microscope Manufacturer names
Currently, it is a STRING with free entry.
For better standardization, we might want to have a CONTROLLED VOCABULARY: Nikon, Leica Microsystems, Carl Zeiss Microscopy, Olympus, etc. (similar to the https://purl.humanatlas.io/vocab/hravs#HRAVS_1000391).
The problem is that the list of names might change.
Describe the solution you'd like
Insert a feature where the user can select "Other" and add a new name. The App would then send an email trigger to the list curator to enter a new term into the controlled list. For example, when values appear often, they are added to ENUM in the model.
Additional context
