"Allow New Entries" button for lookup field enhancement

"Allow New Entries" button for lookup field enhancement

Hi,

When using the "Allow New Entries" option for a lookup field it is sometimes necessary to default certain fields in the related form based on field values in the current form.

Would it be possible to add an option to set field values in the Field Properties of the lookup when "Allow New Entries" is selected?

This would insure data integrity.

It should be extremely simple to do. Basically just take the comments box and add an option for a star rating. At the very least, it would be nice to have more customization options for the comment box so the text could be changed from "Comments" to "Reviews". I've looked at a bunch of embeddable review widgets but nothing meets my needs so this would be a great feature to have added to the site builder.
