I would like to suggest expanding current ability to pre-define tag fields with values chosen by the user

Right now in  
**File \> Options \> Genres**  
we can add our own genres, so that they form a ready to use list

The same could be done for a field like a DISCNUMBER. But it is not a default [basic] field displayed in the Tag Panel, so adding such an option just for this one would be only a half step forward. Such ability should be expanded to the full extent: **every field should be definable with user chosen values**

The DISCNUMBER is the one I would use in such a way, defining it to my likening  
1 / 2  
1 / 3  
1 / 4  
2 / 2  
2 / 3  
2 / 4  
3 / 3  
3 / 4  
4 / 4  
which would cover something like 99% of cases [albums] and at the same time making the choosing a quick decision [based on only 9 entries]. Of course listing and using those values should not make impossible adding other by keyboard input [that 1% cases, something rare like "8 / 8"]

And that already existing Genres could be retained in lets say  
**File \> Options \> Pre-Defined \> Genres**  
as an example

It may seems that this is too much. That besides GENRE and DISCNUMBER no one will use this for fields like TITLE or COMPOSER. And that's probably true. But it could be also used for some tag field bearing a rating of a song or something like source of recording [a field listing digital, CD, DVD, tape, vinyl

The alternative / workaround to this is of course using of user defined actions. But having many of them requires from me scrolling down the list, which takes time. So if my change would be implemented, I could make list of my actions shorter by moving some stuff from it to Tag Panel, thus saving some time and space
