Select or create new

Using Django

Hi,

Is it possible to have a form with a dropdown selection box, but if the option doesn’t exist the user can enter a value?

Thanks

There are some contexts where this is possible and makes sense, but there are more that don’t.

If you have a hard-coded choices list, or if the select list is being built from a foreign key, doing it this way is going to be problematic. (For some thoughts on this, see Should I be using a foreign key?)

For those cases where it does make sense, see:
