Hi I just started working with Anaplan! I was hoping to find a way to add a new item to my list that I want to have as a drop down box in my module. Is this possible?

    If I understand your question correctly, the following is possible:

         1) Create a List which you want to use in the dropdown box within your module e.g. "Country"
         Add "France", "Germany", "Spain" to this List

         2) Create a Module with a Line Item e.g. "Select a country"
         Set the format of this Line Item to Type = 'List' and List = 'Country'

         3) View the Module
         Clicking on a cell against the "Select a country" line item will present a dropdown box containing "France", "Germany" and "Spain"

         4) To add more countries to the dropdown, edit the "Country" list via [Settings][General Lists]
         Insert new entries as required e.g. "Italy"

         5) View the Module
         Clicking on a cell against the "Select a country" line item will present a dropdown box containing "France", "Germany", "Spain" and "Italy"

    Note that you cannot add new entries via the View grid of the module - this must be done by editing the "Country" list directly.
