Perhaps I'm a bit slow, I'm not sure how a custom column would help me when what I want to do is add additional choices to a drop down on a dialog. There are already 3 choices for "English", "English; Middle (1100-1500)", and "English; Old (ca. 450-1100)". A primary choice and two subordinate choices. I just want to add to those subordinate choices on the form of "English; Translated (French)", "English; Translated (German)", etc...

It would seem that since those other choices ("English; Middle (1100-1500)", and "English; Old (ca. 450-1100)") exist that I should be able to add to them without causing significant issues since they come back to being selected as a subordinate type of the primary choice "English".

Since you mention Tweaks, and metadata rules: How would this be significantly different to adding in another language like "Klingon" as a off the cuff example?

Thanks for your help just trying to understand.
