Hi Lau, I don't know that any JS would be required for this feature. I don't think it would be difficult for the Mayan backend to query the database for a list of all metadata values and fill in a combo box. In the case of a static set of metadata values this could be done by a function called from the "Lookup" property of the metadata type. I think that the only complication is the addition of a text field beside the combo box that would allow for entry of new values. This doesn't sound particularly complex but will require someone with much more Django knowledge than I.
