[support] Select list from fields

[Steve Edwards]

If you notice under the "Allowed values list" area there is a PHP code text area (collapsed by default).  In there you can put PHP code that dynamically generates your list of options for the list.   Your code just needs to return a keyed array of the options for the list.
