I have a question about the Choice component

Hi fellow community members,
Yes, here I am again with a question :grin:
For the choice component, is it possible to have an empty choice so people can add a choice?
For example.
As you may know, I am working on a restaurant app that is being used by me and my son.
But I wanted, that when my son enters a new restaurant and needs to select a category but that is not in the list yet, that he or I will be able to add a new category.
Right now I am using the choice component on the field Category.
So it will show all the options you have for a Category.
These are all categories that are already on the list.
But it would be nice to add a new category.
The field category, right now, is in the same table with all the restaurants.
I did not create a separate table with only category options.
To make it possible to add a new category, is it maybe better to create a separate table?
It would be nice to add a category when you enter a new restaurant and donā€™t need to go to a separate section to first add a new category.
I hope my question is clear.
If it is not possible, then I will need to think of something different or just forget about it :slight_smile:
Please keep it as simple as possible to explain it to me. I am not working with Glide that much and things sometimes take time for me to understand it.
Many thanks in advance for your help and time.

For simplicity Iā€™d add a text entry component to the screen and point it to the same column that your choice component is writing to.

Iā€™d say something likeā€¦ ā€œor enter manuallyā€ above the text entry component

That is for sure a simple way to do it.
I did not think about that.
Thanks :slight_smile:
