Add function in dependent dropdown

[Laura_Hong]

I want to have an add function in my dependent dropdwon where I will be able to add more option. I tried allowing adds for the table but it doesnt seem to work.

[Marc_Dillon]

Does this option help?

If not;
What table are you talking about allowing adds to?
Is the dropdown a Ref type column?
What is the dropdown dependent on?

[Laura_Hong]

I depend on another table that I have created. I did not use data type Enum hence, I do not have the option to allow other values.

You can’t add to another table if you pull that table’s rows using valid if.

I don’t know why you are using valid if, maybe you want to select multiple values from the drop-down.

If that’s the case then you can choose the column’s type as enumlist with base type as reference, with the reference to the ‘Company Name’ table, and in that table set the ‘Compwny Name of main contractor’ as label.

This is the problem:

Move the expression from Valid If to Suggested values.

FYI, “dependent dropdown” means a specific thing, which I don’t believe you are describing.
