Maintain curated list of units for a given dimension about openhab-core HOT 4 CLOSED

This is not possible. How do you select which combinations are shown? Take for instance velocity:

• length can be expressed as mm, cm, dm, m, km, in, ft, mi (which are common, every metric prefix like M, G, T is also valid for m)
• time can be expressed as ms, s, min, h, d, m, y (which are common, every metric prefix is also valid for s)

Any combination of these units is a valid velocity unit, at least 48 different units if we only take the most common ones (although probably in/y or km/ms don't make much sense).

If at all a curated list of units should be available in Main UI, but core should not present a subset of available units.

Fair enough. And I was aware of the problem of selecting what to show. The reason to consider putting a curated list in core is that it would allow to maintain everything about units in one place, together with the unit types. I am happy to move this to the ui and maintain it there though.

Can this issue be reformulated (not REST API) and moved to the webui repository?

I changed the title, but I am not authorized to move it..

Can someone please close this issue? I have merged the UI PR, but since I have no issue managment rights on the core repo, this issue was not closed automatically.
