EnumList Ref with filter AND option to create

[Kevinrcup]

I have a table for employees that are either Active or Inactive. Another table column is setup as an enumlist base type ref to this employee table. I understand adding a valid_if statement will limit the list of employees to only active. However, I need the ability to create new, if needed. So instead of valid_if, I use the suggest values. However, doing so lists Active employees first but then also lists inactive employees & all combinations of previous employee selections.

Is there a way to accurately filter the available selections while also allowing create?
