Codelist improvements

[RonnyB71]

Description

Codelists on Altinn 2 differs slightly from how it's implementet on Altinn 3.

Altinn 3
Current codelist implementation can be either dynamic based on code or static based on json files. Either way they both return the same datamodel:

• Value (The value to be stored)
• ValueType (String, Number, Boolean, Null=ValueType not set)
• Label (The text to display to the user, either directly or as a reference to a language resource)
• Description (A text to further detail what this entry should be used for)
• HelpText (A text to be used as a mouse over tooltip)

Altinn 2
This is a bit different that what was the case for Altinn 2:

• Title (The text to display to the user in the provided language, same as Label with the exception on how language is handled)
• Code (The value to be stored, same as Value)
• Language (The language code for the specified code/title)
• Value1 (An optional value that can be configured to use instead of code)
• Value2 (An optional value that can be configured to use instead of code)
• Value3 (An optional value that can be configured to use instead of code)

Differences

• In Altinn 3 you need to go via the language resource files, while in Altinn 2 you can specifiy the language directly.
• In Altinn 2 you have 3 alternative values that not only can be used to store, but also that can be used for grouping/sorting/filtering
• In Altinn 2 there is also the ability to support maintenace via an Excel spreadsheet that can be exported and imported back
• In Altinn 2 changes to the codelists can be updated without deploying the application, which eases the application maintenance
• In Altinn 2 you had the option of sharing codelists accross both service owners (global) as well as accross applications within a service owner boundary.

Tasks

• Analyse furter the differences between Altinn 2 and Altinn 3 to see if we can have the same support in a new codelist version in Altinn 3
