Powerapps Form: Possible to have default value from one datasource, items from another?

I am building a Powerapp that will allow users to choose a project from a SharePoint list and have that selection pre-populate some items in a form. There are other items in the form that I have changed to Drop Down boxes whose items are pulled from other SharePoint lists. So far so good, but the users have one requirement I cannot figure out:

'Engineer' must have a default value pulled from the selected project (from Project_Selector). The user must also be able to overwrite that default value with a selection from the Drop Down (from pkg_Engineer). The default value is not necessarily in the item list.

What I have done:

On preview, I expect to see Engineer pre-populated with "Fitzsimmons" (an item not in the list) and Drop Down choices of "Adams", "Baker", "Charles".

What I see is the default value of "Adams".

How can I pre-populate a Drop Down with a value not in the items list like this?

Create a collection and populate that with your names. Then set dropdown.items to be your collection
