Hi. I have a new site to do, and (so far) there are 3 things I haven't
done before in Drupal. I'll make each a different message so the thread
doesn't get confused.
The first one is what is/used-to-be? called a combo box. That is, a
select box that also allows one to type in an entry if none of the
options will do. In terms of the operation of a normal combo, the issue
is that while I can put a text box above a select, and when submitted,
take the selected option, if one, or the text box contents, if any,
normally a combo will take an option selection and deposit that text in
the text-box portion, in case you want to edit it.
Hello.
You may want to try the module "Node reference create" [1]. It will seem
to be overkill but does exactly fit your requirements.
The dropdown would be an autocomlete textfield with a list of node
titles (of a specific content type you should create for this purpose).
If you enter the title of a node that doesn't exists it will be created
for you.
