Question

Can I program a Business Process to prompt for user-input of a field ? Can it auto-refresh an entry

Q1: I have a business process that updates values in a lookup table used by
Dynamic Fields.

I have a BP that will update a value into the lookup table if it does not exist previously.

Right now, the user must fill in a seperate field on the template I have called "*User to Add" and this is used for the update. The BP is not active unless this field is populated.

Is there a way for the BP itself to prompt the end-user for input in that field (or field combination if that was necessary) ?

Q2: When my BP runs, I must manually refresh the page in order to be able to "see" the new value in my dynamic field. Is there a way for a BP or workflow to refresh the entry's metadata without this being a manual process ??

Thanks in advance for both.

There is not. You can have the business process requirements check if the field has a value and return an error to the user when they try to start it. But it cannot prompt the user for a value nor can the Client disable the button until the requirements are met.

Workflow cannot refresh a Client instance in some user's session on a different machine.
