How to deal with so many values? GZWDer (talk) 20:32, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

- Maybe reverse the relationship - that is, add items for each country code or use existing integer values, and give them a property "country this is a GS1 code for"? ArthurPSmith (talk) 19:06, 28 July 2016 (UTC)
Support This seems useful. I don't see why we should reverse the relationship. This seems to be a property of the country. --Srittau (talk) 11:30, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
@GZWDer, ArthurPSmith, Srittau: 
Done, now GS1 country code (P3067). Note: I'd add multiple values per country if necessary, and not create shortcuts (which is possible with this datatype). Lymantria (talk) 19:54, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
- After realizing how many values this needs, I will change the regex to make entries like "100-139" possible. Lymantria (talk) 20:41, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
