Add Picklist for Alignments for Station/Offset Expressions

Need the ability to pick alignments that are in the file or referenced in the file when using the new station and offset item type expressions. Manually typing them in is currently the only option. The attached screen shot shows where this would be utilized.

    Ah ok. I misunderstood the need. I thought it was about making a "Reference Alignment" Item Type but the need is specifically a dropdown in the "Reference Alignment." My apologies.

    RE: Admin Response 1/5/2023: This is not added in 2022 R1. As stated in the comment, the reference alignment needs to be typed in manually. The idea is requesting the option to have a drop-down menu or picklist option for all alignments referenced or available in the file. This Bentley video also shows that the alignment must be typed in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HddwD8fM_LU, and I do not see anything in the PowerPoint that shows how to create a picklist for this. If this option is truly available, a help document or video showing how to create that picklist would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
