Provide Default (Static) Tables

[funkyferdy]

From my Experience, when you create some sort of Applications you come to a point where it would be handy to have a sort of
"Default Static Tables" that come "handy" to have and "load quick" into your project (in Budibase Context = App).

Think about countries, Regions, Languages, Currencies, etc. you name it. Sometimes you need this data to populate a dropdown in a form, as example.

Would be great if Budibase would ship allready such tables in a way that i can automaticly import in my app. As next step maybe even cooler if i can have one "instance wide" set that, later on, i can syncronise with instances (copys of this tables) used in app. Think about when a country, or a currency "disapears" and you have 35 Apps using the currency or Country Table.

In another project (TYPO3) there was this wonderful extension https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/extensions/static_info_tables/stable/Manual/Index.html#tables-structure that worked exactly this way.

Could be another USP and productivity booster for budibase "developers".

Hey @funkyferdy

This has been discussed internally, and I think the intention is to do something along these lines for brand new apps to have the option to include some 'dummy' data if the user wishes.

Alternatively, this could be solved by services like https://restcountries.com/, https://countrylayer.com/ ...
