During my investigation of Sitecore xDB I tried several things and I found out that I want to increase a the value of a profile key programmatically. This question was helpful but it did not provide the whole solution. In some cases maybe you need this. It has been tested on Sitecore 8.2 update 3.

A few days ago I implemented a custom field which should have 2 dropdowns which are depending on each other (here you can find the whole implementation, in this example I will just show you a simple text field).
So I checked all possible solutions and I decided to use the Iframe type for that. This is a default field provided by Sitecore. So in the source input on the template you need to provide the url for your iframe. In my case it will be a Controller:
I got a requirement that I need to create more data templates with the same fields but the fields should have different validations based on the template.

I faced the issue above when I upgraded from Sitecore 8.1 update 3 to Sitecore 8.2 update 1.
The question came up and wrote it to Sitecore StackExchange. Thank you @jammykam for your answer.
The default Sitecore Name Value List field has an annoying issue. It does not allow to use special characters like ‘-‘ for the key. I just digged into the Sitecore.Kernel library and I found a regular expression validation which is hardcoded.
Let’s overwrite this class make it more flexible. The main issue with the implementation that they don’t encode/decode the URI.

The module is developed by @maaakstiles and I really like it because it’s easy to extend/change to fit your requirements. The basic idea is very easy. It gets data from somewhere (Sitecore/CSV/SQL/MySQL). I played with the SQL part.
