Hi SFDC16,
According to your requirement, you have to insert a value to the picklist through a custom field. I have done the same in 

the following code. You can make a query on the object on which you are using it and then you can pass the list to the 

picklist. I have done it in the Contact object.It will add the new contact that has been created in the picklist. 

picklist 
Please refer to the following code as it may be helpful in solving your problem:
 
VF Page:
<apex:page controller="dynamiccontactlist">
    <apex:form >
      <apex:selectList size="3">
          <apex:selectOptions value="{!contactlist}"></apex:selectOptions>
      </apex:selectList>
  </apex:form>
 
</apex:page>

Controller:
public with sharing class dynamiccontactlist {
    public List<contact> ContactTemp = new List<Contact>();
    public dynamiccontactlist()
    {
     
    }
     
    public List<SelectOption> contactlist
    {
        get
        {
            ContactTemp = [Select firstname,lastname from contact];
             
            contactlist = new List<SelectOption>();
             
            for(contact con : ContactTemp)
            {
                contactlist.add(new SelectOption(con.lastname, con.lastname));
            }
            return contactlist;
        }
        set;
    }
}

I hope you find the above solution helpful. If it does, please mark as Best Answer to help others too.
