Default Data Validation - List - with "Add Items..."

To allow entry of an item that is not on the list, turn off error alert.

To permanently add items you need VBA

Debra Dalgleish has a sample workbook with the code available.

Hi everyone,

Is there a way to do Data Validation as List, and allow the user to "Add
Items.." to the list if they need to?

I found this feature is available in other program, but not excel?

Is there a workaround?

Thank you,
Neon520
