Use a table to hold the list values, instead of a Value List.
That's the only simple way to guarantee integrity between the values, and
provide an easy, single update point for the list.

The actual box in the form view is not updated and even the properties

Please could someone confirm, if perhaps it is now possible for me to
do this now in an almost completed database, or perhaps I am missing
something silly.
