How can I add a new item to a value list?

You can use the Add Value button in the toolbar when you work with the metadata card. This function is available only if it has been specified in the value list properties that end users can add new values to this list.

If you are an M-Files system administrator, go to Value Lists in M-Files Admin, right-click the desired value list, and select Properties. Click Contents > New Item. If you do not have administrator rights, check with the system administrator that Allow users to add new values to this list is enabled in the properties of the value list.

If the value list is based on an object type, new values are added to the list when new objects of that type are created in the M-Files clients.
