The available choices in a drop-down list is configured in the xsd
describing the resource type being edited (or some nested part of it)

look at the contents of the "schemas" folder in the module.
inputfield.xsd might be of interest.

However having the choice available in the list only allows you to set
that value in the resource describing a form - you still have to add
some code somewhere if you want the system to interpret it.
