Hello Justin,

Have you tried not using the "special list" at all? For example in your preparation you could:

1. Do the query to fetch the data to show in the combo box
2. Create a local variable
3. Assign to the local variable
4. ListApeend the variable intro the query result

Probably you have though about it, but I think that this could be a better approach than using lots of UI IFs and combos.

That's choice #1 above. The trick here, is that I use the "special value" to not be an actual ID, but an action name. For example, a list like this:

1. Add a new item
2. Item #1
3. Item #2
...

And if the user selects option 1 (Add a new item), a new screen is popped up to allow them to create the new item. So what I do is I have a "value" of "add" or something like that, and I check the value. That's why, if I am going to manipulate the bound list, I need to make a structure to represent the list.

I don't think there are other "cleaner" options, but perhaps:

1. Create a static entity that contains the possible actions
2. Create a entity Action_User that has all the actions a user (or role) can execute
3. Do a query to fetch from Action_User filtered by user/role
4. Populate the combo box with the result of the query

Yes, I could see that being a good approach if there are more than one or two things to put into the special list. For me, I usually only 2 values at most, so it's more effort than I need. Thanks for the suggestion though!

You can use ListAppend and ListInsert to add custom items to the "SourceRecordList" that the Combo Box pulls options from.
