REAL combobox in an Edit Field

Hello and thank you for this great software and great forum...
I would like to have a REAL COMBOBOX field in my edit page: I'd like to edit field (it's a VARCHAR) both by a dropdown (lookup table), and by typing other text. Usually I'd like to start with a lookup value from the table, and then adding text writing other words.

Is it possible in PHPRunner 5.1?
Another way would be having 2 different edit pages: the first one with dropdown, and the other one with simple text field.

I've found some clues in http://www.asprunner.com/forums/topic/11814-add-another-inline-edit-page/pagep41040hlredirect%20to%20another%20pagefromsearch1&#entry41040 but the instrucions from Jane (usually so clear and precise) are quite obscure for me, and nitro23456 didnt reply to my e-mail.
Is there anyone who can help me... maybe with the same need?

Thank you so much,
Matteo Faini

Hi,
unfortunately it's impossible to select value from dropdown and then edit it manually in PHPRunner.

You can create another edit page using custom view of this table on the Datasource tables tab. Then redirect to the edit page of this view in the After record added event on the Events tab.
