Another way to define a field with selectable values is to list the values in the Form Dropdowns (329) domain. All values with the same "Dropdown #" can then be referenced and used in the same list of options.

...

These values are displayed in a Single Value Form Dropdown field or Multiple Value Form Dropdown field.
