As you can see, this is a request that is on the list for quite some time.  
Just recently ther was this one:

> [@Defined values for 'Period' field](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/defined-values-for-period-field/40962):
>
> I nave created a field for 'Period' as I have a classical music collection. It has fixed values of Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical ... etc I would really like to be able to be able to utilise a periods.ini file similar to that used with genre. Any chance of this being enabled? This would prevent creating fields such Renaisance as a result of mis-typing! Any help on this greatly appreciated.

which also includes a way to get a similar feature right now.
