How to add custom values to Editor Field Options

mihalisp

Hello, I have an Editor Field

    label: "Employee ID:",
            name: "employee_id",
            type: "select" ,         
            }, 

that pulls its values from

     Field::inst( 'db.employee_id' )
    ->options( Options::inst()
             ->table( 'Employees' )
             ->value( 'empl_id' )
              ->label( 'empl_descr' )
                  )
    ->validator( Validate::dbValues() ) ,

This returns a dropdown list with 5 rows.

I want with custom render to add 1 more row to this Field Options-dropdown list (e.g. "0" or "null","Front Desk").

I don't want to add this row to the db table.

Thank you in advance!

If its just a default option you want to add then the placeholder option of the select field type is the way to do this. If you want to make it selectable then placeholderDisabled can be set to false and placeholderValue can be used to define its value.
