Hi folks 🙂

I’m looking for a way to allow user to add text on a dropdown menu.
I explain :

I put a filed “what is your favortie color?” I use a dropdown selector with this value :

blue
yellow
red
green

It works fine, but I want that the user can “populate” this list, and add “black”, “pink” or wathever.

Is it possible?

Hi @bakalegum

This is beyond the current functionality of ACF. You will need to create your own custom field type to do this.
