No, not if I understand what you are asking. When you build a dropdown list, each line becomes a new option. So the list, with just a return after entering each name:

Becomes this dropdown:

If you are asking if you can have a dropdown list that includes all your customers automatically, the answer is no.

You use a line-item custom field instead of a transaction form custom field. See this Guide: [Manager Guides](https://guides.manager.io/10411). While these can be used with custom themes, you do not need a custom theme to use one.
