Dropdown Box (Single) (Manual) Field

A standard single-select dropdown where you supply the options manually.

Conditional options

  • Options (Required) — please enter one option per line.

When to pick this vs. the DB-driven version

Pick Manual when:

  • The list is short and stable (under 20 items).
  • The list is unlikely to change often.
  • No other datastore exists to source the options from.

Pick the DB-driven version (Dropdown Box (Single) (DB) or Searchable (DB)) when the options come from a table — that way admins can edit options without changing the field configuration.
