Display an external RPE variable as an enumeration with predefined values

Is there a way to display (to the user in RPE Launcher) an external RPE variable that has a predefined set of enumerated values?

If you are trying to get the "Priority" values in the dropdown, you can select "Edit Configuration Metadata..." for the variable. Set
Request URL: https://<server>:9443/ccm/rpt/repository/workitem?fields=workitem/workItem/priority/name
Identifier: /workitem/workItem/priority/name
Display: /workitem/workItem/priority/name
However, the priority values for each WorkItem will be shown (and hence there will be duplicates).

Another option is to create a dialog / GUI with Java. The value from the drop down can be assigned to RPE variable. Please refer the discussion at
