I have a form in which the user enters two names in text fields named Party1 and Party2.
Throughout the form, the user must designate who will complete a task (Party1 or Party2).
What I would like to do is have the names entered in the Party1 & 2 fields available to select from without having to retype a name in each field.
 
Is this possible?

In the Exit event of the text fields, use add_item() to add this.rawValue to the list of choices in the drop-downs.

I added this to the preOpen of the droplist:

this.rawValue = null;
this.clearItems();

this.addItem(textfield1.rawValue);
this.addItem(textfield2.rawValue);

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction
