Enable Form text entry when Dropdown List is not restricted
Comments

I have had the same issue when selecting clients and want to add new ones on the list.
To be able to go around this issue, I added a check box and new client column (free text), I ask in the form whether it is a new client; if the box is ticked, this populates the free text field by logic rules in the form.
With conditional formula I select customer which is not blank. Then, I add the new customers into the drop list column.
Regards.

That is an excellent workaround. Thanks for sharing!

We have released an enhancement so that unrestricted dropdown and contact fields now accept free-text from your users. For those interested we also now support symbol images in forms :)
See my product announcement for more detail.
