New StringProvider - PickFromList

DX_PickFromListStringProvider is now available as a Community Project.

This plugin adds a single string provider which can be used in templates.

Usage is:
-------------------------------------------------------------
«PickFromList(Item1,Item2,Item3)»
-------------------------------------------------------------

This will create a popup, add the 3 items to it and present the user with the choice between them.

PickFromList 

The picked Item will be inserted into the text of the rendering template.

You can use as many of these as you like in a template.

The downer for now is that the template will expand in memory and so you will have to answer the various prompts before you see any of the resultant template.

I will at some point work on making the choice become an interactive part of the editor like the field links.
