Saving a userfield Select that allows user's own value using set_userfields()

[kh99]

I'm not sure I follow everything you're saying, but it seems to me that in general there's an <input> or <select> tag for each field, but for what you describe you will need a <select> and an <input type="text"> for field33, and they should have different names. Then you can have your code check both and choose which one to save as field33.
