Predefined trigger name via drop down list

It is possible to set a trigger name for scheduling reports via external trigger. This trigger name is a text input box and should be configurable for predefined values to ensure correct naming.

Until version 11.1.5. with a unsupported customization make it very easy to use by our users for scheduling reports on an external event. The user of Cognos report scheduling, our customer is not able to set trigger name by typing it in a textbox because of type errors; if you use many trigger names, as we do. Now it is so complicated digged in a glass js and we are unable to develop an other customization in cognos analytics, which makes scheduling by trigger unsable. This is a very important function, to set trigger names by predefined names.
