 * I want to dynamically populate a select field with years that will change every
   year-end. I tried a custom shortcode in the options field, but that didn’t work.
   Can I use a hook action to do this?

 * Never fails. I can hunt for hours, and as soon as I ask the question, 10 seconds
   later I find the answer. This works: [https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/tutorial-customising-checkout-fields-using-actions-and-filters/](https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/tutorial-customising-checkout-fields-using-actions-and-filters/)
