Editable Select / Pick list?

Posted on by 25

Is it possible to create an editable select box control for a form? One where a user can enter a value if it is not present in the select list, and have the added values be available for future selection?

    Hello,

    Yes you can implement it using the Lookups.

    Basically lookups are used to show records of another(related)entities.

    So lets say if you have 10 records for Entity A and added an lookup of this entity on the other entities like Contact.

    when end user will try to search on this field, they will able to see Entity A records. For this you will need to use N:N relationship between this Entity A record and contact record because Entity A record will be used in multiple contact records.

    and if user needs more records in the lookup then you can create Entity A records on behalf of user and it will be visible to them.

    Thank you,

    Howdy!

    I think what you are looking to do is similar to another question someone had.  Long story short, it seems you should create a lookup
