1. Poplists are a finite list. That means values outside the poplist are considered invalid. If you want to be able to accept invalid values, use the COMBOBOX - not the poplist.
2. POST-CHANGE should be avoided at all times. Use WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM/POST-QUERY.

If you insist on the poplist then make sure you appoint a value for "all other values" and use the "Other value" property to point to it. When you populate the list make sure this other value is present!
