          <description><![CDATA[<p>I'm afraid it's not possible. The closest you'll get is to allow a text field to be revealed on selection of the "Other" option in the dropdown, and then have the text field store the text value. You can't copy the text from that field into the dropdown.</p>]]></description>

          <description><![CDATA[<p>You have the idea right, now how can I add the additional text option to the dropdown and capture the Text when this choice is made while keeping the other options as record number?</p>

          <description><![CDATA[<p>Okay, if I understand this right - you need the "Other" selection in the dropdown to reveal a text field in the record?</p>
<p>You may be able to do a show/hide based on the title instead.</p>]]></description>

          <description><![CDATA[<p>Great hack idea, however; if a choice is made of the current dropdown it saves the record number which is correct. The next option that I need to add to the dropdown is "Other" and I want to capture the text and not a record number when this option choice is made. Do you have any other ideas?</p>
<p>The reason I need it this way is that the Plugin "showHideDependentFields" cannot use record numbers and I want the "other" selection to open/show another field!</p>
<p>Thanks - nmsinc</p>]]></description>

          <description><![CDATA[<p>Okay, this is a bit of a hack, but it might work.</p>
<p>Add a type to your types section called Other, then use the code below:</p>
<p><code>&lt;?php<br /> $where = "";<br /> $where = "WHERE <strong>(</strong>company = '".$CURRENT_USER['member']."' AND discontinue = '0'<strong>) OR title = 'Other'</strong>";<br /> ?&gt;<br /> SELECT num, title<br /> FROM `&lt;?php<br /> echo $TABLE_PREFIX ?&gt;types`<br /> &lt;?php echo $where; ?&gt;<br /> ORDER BY <strong>dragSortOrder</strong>, title </code></p>
<p>This will get it into the dropdown regardless of the selection, and it assumes that you have a drag sort order on the types section. The ordering may still not work though, you might have to play around with it.</p>]]></description>

<p>That's correct - I can't add it as a record!</p>

          <description><![CDATA[<p><span>I’m using the custom code below to create a dropdown of records within the CMS. I also need to add an additional option after the records populate in the dropdown. This option will be labled “Other” and I’m not sure how to do this.</span></p>
<p><span>Please note that this additional option cannot be a record in the section and this is why I have not added it directly!</span></p>
<p><span>Any help would be appreciated – thanks nmsinc</span></p>

<p><code>&lt;?php<br />$where = "";<br />$where = "WHERE company = '".$CURRENT_USER['member']."' AND discontinue = '0'";<br />?&gt;<br />SELECT num, title<br />FROM `&lt;?php<br />echo $TABLE_PREFIX ?&gt;types`<br />&lt;?php echo $where; ?&gt;<br />ORDER BY title <br /><br /></code></p>
