Showing a button in the dropdown when the searched record is not presented

[AnutharshaSelvarasa]

When the searched item is not found in the drop down, I need to show an "Add New" button in the dropdown expansion. The dropdown is a ComboBoxItem (Could have a PickList).
Is this possible? If so how to Achieve this ? Please provide an example if available.

Appreciate the reply. To implement the above provided solution I need to use "SelectOtherItem". is there a way to have the same functionality with a ComboBoxItem?

No, you do not need SelectOtherItem. You can simply add a FormItemIcon to have an interface for adding a record always available. If you prefer to have the interface to add a new item appear in the drop-down itself, you could use the specialValues feature.
