Add records to List page with search used for field lookup

As a lookup source for a field I am using the List page with search option:

img alt

I need to be able to allow the user to add a city to the table if it does not exist. In previous versions I was able to have an Add button on that lookup list screen, or be able to add a new record in line. I have checked that the list page that is being used for the lookup has inline Add and Edit enabled on the pages screen - and indeed, if that list page is viewed directly all those options appear.
Im not entirely sure how PHPR handles those list pages or why the option to add a record isnt appearing.
I only have a single list page attached to that table, which is the default. Do I need to create a separate list page to use as the lookup source?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Geoff.

This was my error. I had been treating each quadrant of this part of the GUI as being independent. It was simply a matter of selecting the checkbox in the top right area.
