| Possible Values Enter the values to be displayed in the Drop-down Field here. Each value needs to be inserted into its own line (leave a blanc line if the list shall not immediately start with a value):
You may also enter value pairs separated by semicolon <value>;<label>:
When entering value pairs, it is always the first value (<value>) which will be saved as key in the data container. The second value (<label>) can be used as notification to the user. Value pairs may also contain numbers, so that a user can chose a text option, but in the background a calculation is carried out. |

| Possible use case: An existing form is copied for users who shall receive read-only authorization. The added write protection however also affects you as a designer. If you would like to preset a different value, you have to initially reverse the read-only setting. Only then you can select a different value. Afterwards you can reinstate the write protection. |
