How to do I create a new Select List drop-down field?

Created by Joshua Miller, Modified on Sun, 23 Mar at 7:59 PM by Joshua Miller

Select List drop-down fields are those where the choices shown to the user are embedded in the form, as opposed to coming from a Lookup List. Typically these lists are shorter than 15 items and change infrequently.


Step-by-step guide

  1. Select the Module link in the top left banner then select the appropriate module name link.

  2. Select the Forms tab.
  3. Then select the Field List button "Create/Update Fields".
  4. Chose a CustomSelectList that has not been used already.
  5. Select the Edit pencil icon  on the field.
  6. Change the System Name and the Column Header to the name you want to assign to the new field.
  7. Select the Options tab.
  8. Click in the blue area to begin entering options.
  9. Enter the option in both the Value field and the Text field.
    (Note the Value field and the Text field should match.)
  10. To add additional options click on the + in the upper right corner.
  11. Once you have entered all desired options click the Update button and then click Save on the Master Form.
