My table has foreign keys to reference tables.  For example...

Primary table has pkid, fk_refid, etc... fields

Ref table has pkid, description fields

Ref.pkid will be stored in primary.fk_refid 

User needs to be able to manually enter a value for description vs just
lookups from grid or other list.  I need to verify that description is a
valid selection and then store ref.pkid into primary.fk_refid.

Where is it a field then, if not in this bizobj?

You are selecting a field from somewhere...

I'm confused about what you are doing. Can you give a real-world example?
