Making a Drop Down Field Editable

The Single Choice field in the Builder is a very versatile field type that allows form builders to provide a list of acceptable responses within a form. However, some use cases may require users to provide responses that are not already available in the drop down list.

This setting also works with single choice drop down fields that are powered by Reference Data.

  1. Add a Single Choice field to your form and select the gear icon to open the Field Settings modal for that field. Or select the gear icon on an existing field.
  2. Toggle to the Choices page within the modal and scroll to beneath the setting Default Value to the toggle for Allow users to add choices on mobile.

Note
