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.

I have a number of content types which apparently cannot be concatenated

One such contains names and contact details.

I find that drupal seems to be limited to creating select lists from 
only the Title field of a content type which means no Select List on 
first name or Last name, city or post code.
This seems to be a severe limitation in setting up an input form content 
type.

Q1.
When creating a new content type, is there a way to create a select list 
drop down from any or every field in a content type with out hard coding 
the "Allowed Values"?

Q2. Can a view be used to create Select List drop down fields for a new 
content type?

Who should be contacted with suggestion for Drupal UI improvement.

thanks in advance
Roger
