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 because I can't create appropriate Select Lists from any field in a content Type. 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.
