Ok i know this must be a simple thing but i cant figure it out for the life of me.

If i create a dropdown list for a page, say the home page, i want the admin user to be able to add and remove items from the dropdown list. Sound super simple.

However the only way i see is to create a new data type as a dropdown then PRE populate the list?? If not i leave it blank but when i got to the page in the admin its blank with no option to actually add any items?

Am i going insane here? Obviously i dont want my admins to go to the dev section (will hide that from them) just to pre pop the list.

Somebody save me from going insane, theres gotta be a way and i know its in my face i just cannot see it!
