How to use the dropdown block

When to use

Use the dropdown block to let your respondents select one item from a dropdown list with choices you give them.

How to use

Add a new block to your form and then select the question type Date. You can now customize this block to your needs with the following features.

Basic features

Each question block has basic features to present the block the way you need, for example Name, Description and Help text. And most of the question blocks have common options, like the Required and Exportability options.

More information about these basic features can be found in the help article about our form builder.

Choices

For the dropdown block you can enter the list of choices you want to show to your respondents. You can just add the desired amount of choices and enter the names.

Tip

You can quickly supply the choice names by double clicking each choice row. You can then start typing right away, instead of opening each choice separately.

From the list of choices you can open each choice to get to the features of that single choice. Over there you can use these advanced options:

• Label

  This is the main label of the choice.

• Identifier

  By enabling the Identifier feature you can set an identifier for that choice to use in the dataset (more information on identifiers over here).

Branch conditions

Logic is important to make your forms smart and conversational. The dropdown block can work with the following branch conditions to help you with that:

Basic conditions

• Match one of the options;
• Nothing selected.

Evaluate conditions

• When value matches your filter;
• When value does not match your filter;
• When value contains your filter;
• When value does not contain your filter;
• When value is specified;
• When value is not specified.
