Is it possible that when I select a choice button and I can’t find a value, I can enable the option to register values? thanks for your help?

Hi Juan,

I would like to refer to this idea by Jeff here.

> You could always add a text entry above the choice component and point it to the same column. If an option is not in the choice component, then the user can manually type it in. After the form is submitted, then the new entry can become part of your choices for the next time. I have been doing this successfully.

This is a great way to do this. If you want it more prevalent make a button that does the same or a form button that adds it to the list. It just depends on your user base.
