Summary	5994: custom_values=on,dynamic_choices=on but no custom values
Description	I assumed that this would provide custom values in a drop down list to select from, rather than hardcoding a list of values. However, there is a down arrow but nothing is listed.
Additional Information	custom_values=on\|off (whether to allow a custom typed value; if enabled then inline list widgets will not be available; default is off) <-- Assuming this isn't a bug, what's the point of custom typed values and dynamic choices if they cannot be chosen? dynamic_choices (whether to feed custom values back in as possible selections for others; default is off)
