Add custom value to dropdown connected to SharePoint list column

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 41

Hi all, 

 

I'm and building an app that uses various dropdown boxes connected to corresponding choice columns in a SharePoint list. 
I am wanting to know if it's possible to also enter a custom value in these dropdown boxes that will then be added into the SharePoint list column as a choice as well.

 

Any advice or help is greatly appreciated. 

 

TIA 😊

    The best way is to copy your choices from the SP list into a dropdown box, 
    Then add the choices you want.

    FE: the original list:

    ["Hello"; "Yes"; "No"; "Maybe"; "Goodbye"]

     

    New one:

    ["Hello"; "Yes"; "No"; "Maybe"; "Goodbye"; "NEWHHELLO"; "NEWYESS"]

    Hi @Hannah123,

    Actually, Choice column supports to add values manually to Choice column by ticking as below.

    However, this added value could only be added to your Choice column, not a choice for selecting.
