Ok!! Wy not use this plugin :
http://www.web2pyslices.com/slice/show/1616/widget-select-or-add-option-ng This slice is a derivatives of this original slice : http://www.web2pyslices.com/slice/show/1446/widget-select-or-add-option I had use the original successfully, I even modified it to allow tu use autocomplete widget with it, you can search the list if you need this functionnality... Hope it will be easier... There is also another way to do, if you use Tag-it widget... But it more dev, it is less plugs and play... What you have to do is creating a insert function in case the value don't exist that will insert in the referenced table... I am sure you can have more help here if you want to go that way...
