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. The Single Value Form Dropdown allows to choose only one value from the list, and it can be displayed as a dropdown, list of radio buttons, or formatted buttons. The Multiple Value Form Dropdown allows to choose several values from the list, and it can be displayed as a dropdown, or a list of checkboxes.
