Making a Drop Down Field Editable

The Drop Down field in the Legacy 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 drop down fields that are powered by Reference Data.

1. Add a Drop Down field to your form and select the field to open the Field Settings in the left panel. Or select an existing field.

2. Select Editable in the Style drop down menu, located under Field Type and above Choices.

   

3. Save and Publish to device.

2. Select the drop down field.
3. Tap the + button at the top of the screen.
