"Has anyone in the community created custom fields within an element of type combo box, where the values are dynamic and pulled from an external API or database?"

Hi Zabdi,

I believe what you are looking for is the dependencyId feature: dependencyId attribute | DataMiner Docs

Using an HTML connector, you can pull the necessary data from the external API, format it into a semicolon-separated string, and store it in a first parameter, e.g. a string parameter with ID 100.
Then create a second parameter of type "discreet", e.g. a parameter with ID 200, and add the dependencyId attribute, referring to ID 100.
