I noticed that when picking a tunnel value in the dropdown we don't have a filter that shows only those values that apply to the elected feature – highway vs. waterway.

A quick way around this is, to add the "category" of tunnel to the translation string, like done here.

Example current UX:

@tordans tordans added translations this is an issue with a translation, which needs to be solved on the transifex platform field and removed translations this is an issue with a translation, which needs to be solved on the transifex platform labels Jan 1, 2026

Highway in US English refers to higher speed roads specifically.

Brainstorming:
Maybe just "ways"?
Or just add "waterway" to the one and nothing to the other?
Or add "walking person" vs "water drop" icons (unspecific to the value, just for the category)?

+1, this seems viable
