Adding fields with Datamanager?

$this->validfields[] = array('myfield', TYPE_STR, REQ_NO, 'if ($data != 'notallowed') { return true; } else {return false; }')); 


This adds a new field myfield which is not required and will accept strings other then 'notallowed'.

Actually, this doesn't work. I had to change it to this ;

$this->validfields['myfield'] = array(TYPE_STR, REQ_NO[high], 'if ($data != 'notallowed') { return true; } else {return false; }')[/high]);

With the highlighted bit being optional (and not used by me).
