Lookup lists

Reusable dropdown catalogs (severity, departments, equipment types) with rich row metadata and cross-module reuse.

Why not just a dropdown per field?

Because the same list is used in 8 different modules. A lookup list is defined once and referenced everywhere — updating a value in one place updates every module that consumes it.

Rich row metadata

prefix — shown before the label (e.g. "SEV-1").
color — badge / pill color for dashboards.
priority — sort order + numeric comparison.
order — display ordering overriding alphabetical.
isArchived — hides from pickers but preserves history.
extras — open jsonb for anything else you need.

Templates, fork, and extend

Platform-wide templates (OSHA severity, ISO 45001 categories) live as read-only seeds. Fork them to your tenant, extend with your own rows, and re-sync from source when the template updates.
