Dropdown Form Entry

I want users to enter data via form and one of the fields is a dropdown list and I do not have the restrict list to values selected. I want people to be able to submit new entries via the form but it will not accept any that are not already pre-defined in the dropdown list.

This seems like a defect to me. People can add new entries in the regular view but not via the form.

Unfortunately, as far as I know, that is the way it works in the form on the web currently.

What I usually do is to add a second column for any value that isn't in a dropdown list.

Would that work?

Hope that helps!

Have a fantastic week!

Best,
