I think u will need javascript to add the value to the select box. Do u use a js library like jQuery? U need to add the value to the select box with javascript after the user has created a new customer, or u can load the whole list again from database and put this list in the select box.

Thanks for the reply. I use jQuery for the modal box and several other things.

What I need is a method of retrieving the ID of the created customer and then pass that ID into the value of the select box.

Guess you can break it down to:

a) How do I retrieve the ID of the created customer? b) How do I pass that value into the select box?

Since you're using jQuery, why not just have laravel return the newly created user in the reponse, like:

#lets imagine this is a resource controller
public function store(){
     ...
     $user->save();
     return Response::json($user, 200);
}

Then, get that data from your ajax success method, and then do an $('.dropDown').append('NEW USER OPTION TAG');

EDIT:

In jquery, you should use:

$.post(urlToSaveNewUser, data,  function(response){
     /* response will contain you new user data */
    console.log(response); 
}, 'json');
