Overview

A Dropdown List control displays a created dropdown list upon clicking its dropdown arrow.

To configure a Drop-down List, navigate to Properties > Input Data to view its settings.

Setting		Function
Type		Selects data type of the dropdown list.
Display Field		Appears if an Entity data type is chosen for the Type (ex: FileData, Accounts, Documents, etc). Selects which variable within the Entity data type to represent item(s) within the dropdown list. For example, a FileData dropdown may display each item in the list by its FileName.
List Input Source		Defines origin of list items.
	DataName	Gathers list items via DataName allowing for dynamic population.
	Flow	Gathers list items by grabbing outputs from a Flow ran inside the Form.
	Static	Gathers list items by entering user-specified data. The Static Default Item(s) setting enables if, or if there is not, a default chosen item in the list. Translate Items allows for the list items to be translated based on the Portal settings.
Disable Typing (v9.6+)		This prevents Users from being able to type values into the Dropdown List.

Open a Form in the Form Designer. Drag and drop the Drop Down List into the Form.
In the Input Data section under the List Input Source select the desired source.
Choose Static and add List Items: Item1, Item2, Item3.
Select Preview in the top action bar to view the List.
