Yes |
String value. When the SharePoint writer creates a field of this type, the field is configured to allow free-form input, and the SharePoint web interface will not show a list of values to choose from. Use the SharePoint web interface to configure the values that appear in the web interface’s drop-down for this field. Note that SharePoint API allows writing arbitrary values to Choice fields, regardless of whether the field is configured to allow free-form input. The free-form input restriction only applies to the web interface. |
