Well, that is rather different to what we set out with. While it is do-able, I think it both complicates input (the user will have to choose a 'type' before being able to select one of the options for that 'type') and is also liable to create difficulties for those who have to process the data later on as there is no necessary consistency in the order or location in which items might be recorded. Furthermore, if the user selects the wrong type, then goes back and changes it, the dropdown will then have entries available for both types. Obviously, additional code will be required to clear the dropdown every time a 'type' is selected, before any new items are added.

Before proceeding, I'd suggest a re-think. If you do decide to go ahead, you'll need to post a copy of the revised document that the code is meant to work with.
