Edit dropdown value, possible ? 1 year 1 week ago #17294

nettemor OFFLINE Junior Boarder Posts: 32	Hi, I need a dropdown which should be editable, is this possible? Ex: i have 5 predefined values in a dropdown box. If none of these applies to the user, they should be able to select a value called something like "-- write your value here---" where the user can type the needed value. How can i achieve something like this?

After forms processed??

I would think I need javascript function to allow field to let input be typed into the field even though it is a drop down. Then whatever is in the field is sent to the DB.

Another way is to turn a text field into an AJAX auto-suggest field for search like functions or pre-fill function. Of course I am actually surprised you don't already have these fields exist yet!?

Anyway, i will do more research and hopefully post a solution on here one of these days.
