Dropdown with “Add Item” option for data fields

[avintobr]

Hi all!
I’d like to display a dropdown that shows a dynamic list of values (data fields) and enables users to click “+ Add item” which would open a popup to enable users to fill in a separate form to add another option to the dynamic list. I’m dealing with data fields Branch to a data type Company.
Is there a way to do this with a dropdown menu?
Searching the forum, older results display broken links to the solution, and recent ones only deal with a specific data type on the dropdown, but I need to display and add, if necessary, data fields.
Thoughts?

@avintobr from my point of view, you have 2 ways of accomplishing that (at least without code or external things).

1. If you need to use Bubble’s native dropdown, you will need to include in your database a new entry with the “+ add item”.

2. “Mimic” the dropdown behavior with a input + focus group. And inside the focus group you include one group to be the “+ Add Item” and, bellow it, the repeating group showing the data from the table.

In my opinion, the 1st solution is easier, but some developers might find it ugly

Also, found this thread with some answers:

Creating new dropdown option not in the list

Hi, I would like to give an option to the end user to add new thing that is not appearing in the dropdown list input. The dropdown is dynamic and gets data from database, is there a way to add option to the dropdown list to add new thing like the one we are using for the styles. [image] thank in advance.

Oh, I see. First solution for my alpha and beta stages are great, and then I’m probably gonna implement more a sophisticated solution later on, thank you for your help, @lucas.bastos!
