Hello
I'm looking to create a list field where I can input manually strings in it.
Can someone tell me if this is possible ? I've created a field with type list but I don't know what to do next to achieve this. I get a drop-down with fixed values but I want a free text field to input values.
Thanks
Jérôme

Hi @Jerome MAISETTI ,
The functionality of list field type is Reference field that accepts multiple references rather than just one.
If you want to fullfill your requirement you will have to use the string field.

Hi @Jerome MAISETTI ,
Please clear my below doubts :
1) Are the field present on UI 16 or on portal?
2) Are you pushing the values from any script or manually ?

Hello @Gunjan Kiratkar
The field is present on the form.
The values will be pushed from an API. (Our global customer portal will push the references to that field so we can show them on the form).
