hybrid of select field and input field

[froot]

I need a field that behaves somewhat like the native image tags field. What I mean is you can predefine values in the field settings, and then, when editing a page with that field, you can select those predefined values but also enter custom values. 

Is that something that exists already or should I go ahead and try to create a custom field type?

You can hook the render of a normal text inputfield and use a <datalist> element.

thanks @Macrura 

It's a good start, but still not ideal. Like I said, technically pretty much exactly like the image-tags functionality when you check

User selects from list of predefined tags + can input their own

So it's possible in theory, I just need it to work for an only-text-field.

this one still works great for me:

but appears to have been removed from the modules directory. I'm using it on current sites.
