This is related to #1005 somewhat. There is a setting on list fields, "allowed_values_function". It's normally blank for standard list types. You can edit the config file and set it, and thereafter the UI preserves that value. At least, it seems to have done so far for me.
I think it would be preferable to expose that as a text field on the field settings page.
