Dropdown List

Dropdown lists are used to present a list of items for the form user to make a single selection.

Basic setup

In the Form Fields panel (left-hand side), click and drag the Dropdown List field onto your form.
Enter the question or name.
In the Dropdown Choices area, enter the list items/options.
(Optional) Tick if answering this question is compulsory.
Tip: If this is a common list that will be used in other forms, click Save options for later use, enter a list name, and save. Next time you create a new form that requires the same dropdown list, you can click Insert pre-defined options instead of building the list again.
Save & Close.

Show advanced options

Advanced options provide additional controls and functionality as explained in the table below.

Option	Tick this if you want to…
Question (Label)	Show a different field label (instead of the field name) on the form. When a Question (Label) is specified, it will override the Question (Name) on your form. For example, you may want to: show multiple fields with the same question or label, or use internal field names for reporting purposes, but show user-friendly field labels on the form.
Hide the question (only show the answer box)	Only show the input field (without the question/name).
Default answer	Prefill the field with a default answer. Field short-codes can also be used to prefill dynamic values directly from responses in other fields within the form.
Placeholder	Provide an example of a response or required format to guide form users. The placeholder text will disappear when a value is typed in.
Further instructions	Add some informative text just below the field.
Assign numeric values for your options	Assign values to options to automate calculations within a form. To learn more, see Calculation Field.
Read-only – don’t allow entry into this field	Lock a field to prevent form users from modifying a pre-defined field value. For example, you may have a default answer such as ‘today’s date’ or ‘customer ID’ that is pre-filled on the form and you don’t want form users to change it.
Hidden – don’t show this field on the online form	Hide a field to prevent form users from modifying a pre-defined field value. For example, you may have a default answer such as ‘today’s date’ or ‘customer ID’ that is pre-filled on the form and you don’t want form users to see it.
Enable search/filtering on this drop down	Make larger lists easier to search by enabling a filter on the dropdown list.
Show /hide this field with conditional logic	Hide this field until certain conditions/responses in other fields are met. To learn more, see Show/hide fields based on conditions.
