Add a drop-down list field
When you add a field to a topic workflow configuration, it appears by default as a value-entry field and accepts any alphanumeric value a user enters. An alternative is to provide a limited set of entries for a field to display a drop-down list with those values.
For example:
Users can select a single value from a drop-down list, and can change the selected value for the field at any time (if permitted for a given workflow state by the topic or action field access level). Drop-down lists structure data entry by limiting the number of possible entries. They also assure that the values stored for a field are consistent.
Note:
An alternative is to add a field that appears with a multi-selection list control in the user interface. There are two field types that support this: Append-only and Multiple Values. If the field is Append Only, users can select one or more values, but cannot remove any previously selected and saved values. If the field is Multiple Values, users can select one or more values, and can remove previously saved values. See Add a multi-selection list field.Parent topic: Manage fields
