Single-select attributes

If the list of options is relatively short, and does not change often, you should use the Single-Select attribute type. It can appear on a form as either a drop-down list or a radio button group.

The choices are driven by a hard-coded list of options you specify when you create the attribute. The user can select only one choice from the list.

When you create the attribute, you specify how it will appear in the Field Type field:

Dropdown List (the default)

Radio Button Group

This attribute type is not available for cell attributes.

When you create a single-select attribute, you must specify the list of items the user can choose from. The following table describes the fields you use.

Field	Description
Allowed values for the field	A text box you use to enter a new value. After you enter a value, click Add to add the value to the list of allowed values.
Allowed values list box	A list box that displays all the allowed values for this single-select attribute. The list is presented on the form in the same order as it appears in this list. You can use the buttons to the right of this list box to organize the list: Remove : click to remove the selected value. Up : click to move the selected value up one spot in the list Down : click to move the selected value down one spot in the list.
Default value	A drop-down list you use to specify the default value for the attribute. You can select any of the allowed values.
