Drop List List
Pn1995 actually, I wanted to thank you for pointing out this feature. I've never liked the choice with fill in options, because you could never really see all of the other - you'd probably have 12 different spellings of the same 'other' option. Now a user, if they need to use something not in the formal options, can at least pick the same spelling as someone else.
It doesn't change the actual definition of the choice field - it still has the original options you gave it. In the new/edit forms the options under the line are all the values that have been used in other items (if you clear those items up they don't show any more). Editing in quick edit mode doesn't show those 'others'.
I like it because now I can see what are common 'other' options and add those to the legal options.. So for me, it's a good feature. Understand if it doesn't work for everyone. I haven't tested that kind of field to see what PowerApps does to it, but I like how the standard forms work.
