You don't need to create a dictionary item if it's a one-off ... For a one-off, just put (iirc the syntax correctly)
EVAL "FIELD(@ID,"*",1)" as the field name in the list command. You can modify the way it displays with things like the FMT option, there are more ... Mind you, there's a good chance this I-type already exists in the dictionary, if the dictionary was set up properly.
