Dear All,
for one of my documents I'd like to have tables, where in a single
column i can only choose from predefined sets of values (e.g. names). Is
that possible?
| Name | Description | Price |
|-------+-------------+-------|
| David | foeiu | 287 |
| Mika | ofi | 287 |
| David | froeiw | 238 |
| | | |
^^^^^^ that column i'd like to fill with only specified items
many thanks
david

AFAIK this is not possible. At least not with facilities built into
org-mode. You might have luck writing a source for auto-complete, but
this might be more effort than it is worth.
If you are not planning to export your document, but merely want to
manage some data in a tableish fashion inside your Emacs/Org setup, you
may find (info "(Org) Column View") of some help. You can define a
NAME_ALL property which lists the specific items.
HTH,
