Is there a way for the operator to add a row to the dropdown while the program is running? I had an operator request this because as of now they have to come to an engineer to get the dropdown list updated.

Thanks!

Of course. The data property of the dropdown can be modified with scripting.

[system.dataset.addRow](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/appendix/scripting-functions/system-dataset/system-dataset-addRow)

**Edit:** That will not be permanent. If a persistent addition is needed, the data property could be bound to a dataset tag, and the user could simply add a row to the tag.
