In Interface, user can only choose a value that already exists in a single select field.

In some use-cases, I should be able to add a new value (as it exists when creating from the "Data" interface)

It would be nice to have this option enable or not in the field parameters, when configuring the form in Interface.

okay, you mentioned form only once in the thread and not in the the big title that brought me there !

IMHO you can workaround this quite easily with an automation that would add some content of a 'free' text field to the select field when the record is created.

Has anyone figured out a workaround for this using linked records instead of single select fields? This is a key missing feature. Especially since you can add items in to a field in list view. Please help Airtable team!

I'm also very much in need of this feature! Commenting here to hopefully get updated if this feature is added! Thanks!

+1 on this. This single feature is probably going to mean we're going to have to bin airtable and look for another solution. In table view there's a nice little "+" button so the user can select an existing value or add a new value. That little "+" on Interface forms would make a world of difference 😞
