[Mayan EDMS: 2437] Metadata values from a different database

[Pablo Castro]

Hello, I've been trying out Mayan for the last week and it has been great
so far. I have a couple of metadata types with a working list of allowed
values using the "Lookup" option. My question is: would it be possible to
populate the list from values of a different database? I have a database
with the names of 5000 employees, so it would not make sense to add them
manually to the list in Mayan.

I've got some Java code (GIT repo at
https://github.com/shorero/ExifExtractor.git) that looks for images in
Mayan, extracts EXIF metadata, and adds the EXIF information to Mayan as
metadata tags. This could probably be modified to do what you need.
