 * Hello Tobias,
 * So, I have intsalled the plugin, and I am just testing it.
    I have the following
   questions now:
 * When entering data, how may I define, that in a given column only specified values
   can be entered? (Like the name of the “teacher” could only be selected from a
   list of registered names, or the location can only be one from a recognised places”
   list.)?
 * How may I define a column as “dates”, or e-mail addresses, or true/false? May
   be enter data with a radio button?
 * Thanks a lot,
 * Tamas

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * Sorry, something like this is not possible. The “Edit” screen of TablePress does
   only offer plain text fields, but no drop downs to select predefined values, 
   radio buttons or other form elements.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
