Add values dynamically to a picklist on new UI

Hello,

Does anybody know if it is possible to add values to a picklist dynamically rather than predefined values on the new UI? 

From what I see, on the new UI the picklists are not built using the <select> tag, but instead of this, the <ul> <li> are used inside a <div>.

Also, each picklist has a related <select> field containing all the predefined values, which is not displayed on the screen and when changing this <select> option, the values from the list are changed as well.

I have eventually managed to dynamically fill a picklist values using jquery, but the issue is that I cannot change the picklist selected value.

Please let me know if you encountered this kind of issue or if you know another solution to dinamically fill a picklist with values (using some KENDO UI functions for example).

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,

Florin
