Thanks for the response.

I have a select field that will be populated by an external app with IDs
that have been individualy inserted with the same external app in other
forms.

I want the external app return a list that will be use to populate a
select. is this possible ? If no what is the best way ? modify ODK collect
code ?

ODK Collect doesn't give you an easy way to do this without lots of
customizations. One way to dynamically load extra data into a select
is to use external itemsets
(http://opendatakit.org/help/form-design/external-itemsets/). If your
app can write data into that itemset.csv file, you might have a (kinda
hacky) workaround.
