  I really like the dropdown prompts and would be really disappointed to lose those. While a custom box would be be a fantastic addition to this, an alternative easier solution might just be to add an "other" option to all the Type dropdowns (in all article templates).

  Adding a "Custom" option to many of the dropdowns on article templates would be really useful when the standard options don't quite fit for the worldbuilder, but there isn't enough demand to make the entry a standard option. However, adding custom dropdowns might be more complicated than it appears, depending on how the database fields that support the dropdowns are implemented.

  Only if it doesn't replace the existing suggestion list.

  Voting with the impression/assumption this suggestion is in the spirit of DMFW's addition/clarification.

  same as studio map pins, ofc it can't be every single drop-down, but a few select ones like timeline event type and government stuff could be a good start

  Support for custom entries in drop downs has a much wider application than government type, and I expect if it were to be implemented it would be across the board. You'd almost certainly want to make the custom additions private at user level (but across all a user's worlds). If you had this function it would cut out a whole category of enhancement requests we see on the suggestions board all the time. I'd envisage the existing core set of code values that never need to change would be retained, plus user specific additions for each type, you can add/delete at will, merged into your personal drop down option list, maybe with some limit on the number of codes you can add per type, so as not to cripple performance. Not a trivial request (the user maintenance function might not be straightforward) but I've implemented an analogous concept in my own programming. I suspect this one might not get any traction from the devs and I'd understand why, but it is worth asking!
