Add new option to Dropdown Custom Field through Butler

[Travis Austin]

Hello there,

I am trying to get Butler to assign a new value to a Dropdown Custom Field. This isn't working if the dropdown doesn't already contain the input value as an option for the field.

eg: When "Buyer -> Owner" button is pressed, set custom field "Owner" to "{{%Buyer}}" (Owner is a dropdown custom field)

How can I add a new option to a Dropdown Custom Field through Butler if this functionality doesn't work (from another variable if this is possible)?

I am not wanting duplicate option values inside a dropdown, I just need to add the option if it does not exist already, then set the value (regardless if it previously existed or not).

Thank you so much!

I don't think it is available so I coded it just now. Add it to my collection of Add-on
