Currently, it's only possible to select source from a dropdown of existing sources. It should also be possible to input a new source.

done.

Hey James, I can add this in but is there any real data in this table in the source field? Going to wait till you get back to me to do this operation.

@markmcdonald51 Yeah, there's all of these sources that were created in the scrape. This is good, as it means that the same source won't have variants in spelling. But if they want to create a report from a source that hasn't yet been defined in the source table, there's no way to do this, since the source form isn't exposed to them yet.

@markmcdonald51 wait, unless I'm mistaken, it looks like you added this to deposits, not documents. In short:

the source field for deposits should be free text (no association, and no need for the table deposit sources)
the source field for documents is already an association with the source table. This is good, but when adding new documents, admins can only choose from existing sources, they can't create a new source if necessary. See below screenshot.
