In many cases, combobox and tokens values serve as "facet hooks". So MECE and consistency is crucial. So there are 2 ways to handle adding new values:

Centralized administrator-controlled authorization of new values {{{field |General Tags |property=Has general tag |input type=tokens |values from category=General Tag |existing values only |delimiter=;}}}

Distributed user-tolerated spontaneous introduction of new values {{{field |General Tags |property=Has general tag |input type=tokens |values from property=Has general tag |delimiter=;}}}
