They can be added at any time - options() is just a method on the element object. Although, it might cause problems if you: * use a form populated by Catalyst::Controller::HTML::FormFu's FormConfig() or FormMethod() * have an AutoSet constraint on the select field * add the options during your controller's action routine ... because by that time, $form->process() will already have been called, and the lack of options will cause the field to not pass the constraint. How do you imagine the form being created - what sort of API? Will there be a controller Action class to replace the likes of FormConfig() ?
