Add New Choice not an option in a Text - Multiple Choice field

I apologize if this comes up as 2nd post.  I received an error after I submitted my first.

In my newly created App I have multiple tables.  And in those multiple tables I have used the text field Text - Multiple Choice.  The settings values for those fields are...

Text - Multiple Choice field options

Input Type: From list (FYI. I have a list of items listed not in alphabetical order)

Allow users to create new choices is selected.

Display choices in alphabetical order is selected.

When I go to the table where that field is located and add a new record, that field dropdown does not give me the option <Add new Choice...>.  It only lists the items in my list non-alphabetically.

I'm seeing this happen in every table where I have a Text - Multiple Choice field and I can't seem to find a setting at the app level to control this.

Am I missing a step?

Thanks,

stu

    Are you using the new forms or the legacy forms?

    In the new forms, Ive noticed the option to add new choice is not there. not sure if this is a bug or by design.

    Regarding the alphabetizing, that is strange. Can you post your choices? It's definitely pulling from a list and not from another field, correct?
