A Drop-down field is a a type of data field which provides Form Users with a list of items, from which only one selection can be made.
When adding a drop-down field to your template in the Template Editor, the contents of the list are entered manually or filled with a reusable Collection. Drop-down fields can also be set up to allow write-in entries by setting the Allow Other property to "Yes".
Drop-down fields are recommended when a user is selecting a single item for 4 or more choices. You can save your list of drop-down menu options and reuse it elsewhere. These saved lists are called Collections and are outlined below.
🗒️ Note: If you're going to include fewer than 4 options, consider using a checkbox group field instead.
