Edit Value List Question

[FMjoe]

Can a pop-up value list using values from a field in another file include "Edit" to add a new value, thereby adding a new record, in that other file or is a portal the only way to add a new record in the other file? I'm using FMP7 and can't seem to pull this off.

Unless the value list is based on custom values (i.e., not taken from a field anywhere) it can't be edited directly from the value list. Can fan fake this kind of thing with portals, as you have guessed.
