It would be nice, actually, if there were a way to embed option choices into the layout file, so that, e.g., you could do this:
   ClassOptions
      SelectOne choicea, choiceb, choicec
      SelectMany optiona, optionb, optionc
      Boolean oneside
   End
and then what you'd get, in Document>Settings>Document Class are (a) a combo box, (b) a mutli-select type list, and (c) a checkbox. Working out the details exactly would be some work, but it'd be very cool if it could be done.

Indeed! I'll add one more wish to that: the ability to attach a name or explanation to each option. For instance, with this the layout file for INFORMS journals might look like

ClasOptions
SelectOne deca (Decision Analysis), ijoc (INFORMS Journal on Computing), ...
End

(There are eleven of the buggers, which is why I'd rather not force the user to (a) remember to enter one and (b) remember the right code.)
You want to bugzilla this?
