Does anyone know of a module or method to add a button or link that will allow a person to add items to a select list content type field?
For example, if I add a text field to the Story content type and name it "Publisher", then choose the 'select list' form element and add five list items I know to be 'publishers', if an end user has a "publisher" that is not listed, is there a way (for a non coder) to make it so the end user can add a new "publisher" to the list?

I've discovered the Hierarchical select module http://drupal.org/project/hierarchical_select and was able to have it deal with the 'add new item' problem.

Subscribe and reopen : would be nice for the end user to have the possibility to add values to the select list.

Maybe something like http://drupal.org/project/cck_select_other, where "other" values added would be stored into the DB as values for the future select list.

Similar idea from the issue queue of cck_select other module, here : http://drupal.org/node/793024
