Hi @ican ,

I would advise you to use List Collector Field instead of Choice field for your requirement. 

The "sys_ref_list" list layout of the target table controls the elements that are displayed under the list collector. 

Here are the steps:

1. Identify the list table the list collector variable is referencing.
2. Navigate to sys_ui_list.LIST from application navigator and filter the records with that table name you found in step1
3. Then select the record that has the View as 'Reference List'
4. In the related list, you will see List Elements. These are the fields that you see below the list collector variable after selecting a value.

Administrators can choose the list elements based on the information they want to show below the list collector variable.

Is this applicable in a custom form? Since it is what I'm using.

Im thinking of an Empty Choice field and have a button beside it to add Choices to the Choice Table.

is this possible?

I am looking for same solution. To have a list where the user can input manually and it gets added to the list. Just as in list collector. But without referencing to any table. Any solution?
