additional entry in dynamic pulldown

[tbeidler]

I have a basic creative request database that has a status pulldown menu populated by a value list for each request. The value list does not have a "complete" entry because I've created a button to mark jobs complete and runs a script. The button marks the job complete and adds a complete time and date stamp in a job log.

The problem I'm having now is, if the job is marked complete and someone views the job using a details page with the value list that doesn't contain complete, the field gets filled with the first value in the value list, "New Job", and the job becomes active again.

Is there a way in my html/cdml that I can have a dynamic pulldown/value list which will accept items which aren't in the value list?
