User defined values

Anyhow, I think this really brings up the concept of creating user defined values. There could be say 2 check boxes and 2 numeric values within an individuals collection and then a related 4 field names that can be customized (rhu would just call user value 1-4 and user labels 1-4). You could specify that your 2 numeric values are 'Open' and 'Sealed' and then update those values within your collection. Meanwhile, I might call those same values 'On Loan' and 'Lost', others might use them for 'purchased price', 'year purchased', etc. The check boxes could also then be used for purposes like 'Favorites', 'Consider Selling', 'Transformation Deck', 'Uncut', etc. Implementing some simple sorts and groupings within an individual's collection could create any number of possible features without forcing it on everyone else or making it a 1,000 field nightmare to work through.
I think 3-5 custom fields for each check boxes and numeric might be a better goal though. We already have a description field so I don't think any custom sub labels (text boxes) would be needed here.
