I have a Single Select field field that I want to allow users to be able to add new options too when they are in Create Form interface. Since this is not possible, are there any workarounds/alternative designs that anyone has used?
My thoughts:
1. Using Linked Record is also not possible, since it doesn't allow new record creation from the Create Form interface.
2. Using a text field and then automating creation of the option in Single select also is not possible since I believe it doesn't allow update of the Single Select options through "Run Script" in automation?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Regarding the interface side of things, ideally workarounds aren't needed and they just include this basic option already present for multi-select fields (but not for single-select fields, which doesn't make sense to me.)

That’s so strange that Airtable offers that for multi-select fields but not single-select fields. Be sure to send that as a feature request to support@airtable.com

Hey there, I just wanted to mention that our miniExtensions Form offers the ability to add options to single and mutli select fields in a super simple way! Just turn on the toggle in the settings and your users will see that they can add a new option! No automations or any other workarounds needed! 🙂
