Editor: manual entry for missing option in select list

ekkeroth

I have this simple use case:

user clicks on select list
does not find the required option
wants to enter the value into a text box
submits the form

I usually would solve this by adding a "Add" button before the select.
But how do I do that in Editor?
How do I get the (working) select field from fields definition, i.e. label, name, type, and options into a Custom field type?

The use case is not really easy to read, hence I re-enter it.

1.user clicks on select list

2.does not find the required option

3.wants to enter the value into a text box

4.submits the form

One option would be to use a plug-in such as Select2 where you can select from a list or allow arbitrary text entry in a combobox style.
