   Hello everyone
   1) I am trying to get to understand how to use custom fields.
   Not talking about display for now but only the implementation inside the backoffice (admin panel)

   I went on manage an article and added a custom field
   example:

   key:color value:pink

   Then I went to another article and selected the color field and added the value:blue

   Now what I woul like to do is when I go on a third article
   and select again the color field to have some kind of drop down menu (could be ajax) to display a choice between the values I already have entered (example blue and pink) a bit the way like tags or categories work...

   Anyone who could give me a hint on what to do ?

   Since if someone enters a typo example plink it would be considered a different color.

   2) Is it possible after that to display let's say all the posts that have a pink color ?

   3) I was thinking using some of this fields to also add info that I will only need in the admin section, how is it possible to show only this info to admins ?

   Thanks in advance

   I don't think Custom Field GUI offers a feature quite like that, but it may still fill the bill:
