Here I am with another question, gang...

When users add a particular type of node, it has a text field with a list of Allowed Values. I'd like them to be able to add to that list. That's because I want a list that's easy for them to choose from without having to type the whole value, but if the value they want is NOT in the list, I'd like them to be able to add to it, thereby helping the next person to add a node.

Is there a module that will let them do that?

You could create a taxonomy field with free tagging.

Is there a way to do this with a cck text field?

Hi, just wondering if perhaps someone could point eric and me to the right solutions here (aside from using taxonomy)? I searched drupal.org for a cck field with this functionality but could not find anything, perhaps I don't know how to word my query so if anyone comes across this post and knows of such a field please post here.

I am pretty sure there 's gotta be a control/cck-field like this because there is a standard OS GUI control which is very similar to the functionality eric and I require - it presents the user with a drop-down list of choices to choose from but does not limit you to only these choices.

Enabling taxonomy and all that comes with it just for a simple text/list field seems a bit of an overkill...

thanks!
