Editable Select / Pick list?

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?

    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

    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,

    Amit katariya
