Hi,
Trying to implement task list functionality, I have done the following:
1) Created a model (taskListModel.xml):
The tests run without error. First I can create a task list under company home, and then I can successfully find and delete it. These tests don't assert anything yet, I better test the functionality with asserts, not by writing the whole company home node to the console.
I hope I am doing everything right.

Yes, it works perfectly, thank you 
Now I need to let the user update those properties.
Updating a property as a text field should not be hard, I can find an example for that. Is there support for selecting a property value from a list box also? For example, I want to let selecting the Status property from a list box, having entries like NOT STARTED, IN PROGRESS, FINISHED, etc. Is there a pointer showing how to do this?
