I have a drop down that allows custom entry. How do I delete the entry from showing in the list later.....

1) Drop down list includes

A

B

C

D

E

2) I add custom text

BOZO

***  So new drop down list contains

A

B

C

D

E

BOZO

3) I add custom text

NEW

**** so new drop down list contains

A

B

C

D

E

BOZO

NEW

4) I no longer want "BOZO" to appear in the list.  How do I remove it?

Does no one have any suggestion of how to programmatically change the list?

Hi,

In normal circumstances when 'allow custom entry' is ticked, the user can type in a new value, but this does not persist in the dropdown (eg it is not automatically added as a new item in the dropdown).

You must have script adding the custom text as a dropdown item.

If you want to remove it, I suspect that you would need to clear the items from the list using clearItems(); and then build the dropdown items from scratch again, with addItem("A");

Does that help?
