Dropdown

The Dropdown Field allows users to choose from a predefined list of options — ideal for limiting inputs to a specific set of values. Use this when you want consistency in responses, such as selecting departments, leave types, or session topics.

How to Add a FreshForms Dropdown Field#

1. Edit the page where you want to add the form.
2. Click the “Insert More Content” button (usually represented by a “+” icon).
3. From the dropdown, select Other Macros.
4. Then type FreshForms- scroll and select FreshForms Dropdown.

This will insert a FreshForms Dropdown within the Container Macro.

Configuration Options#

Field Name#

Required. A unique, alphanumeric identifier for this field — no spaces or special characters. Used for filtering, reporting, and referencing within macros or conditions.

Example: leaveType, department, sessionChoice

Label#

The visible question or prompt for the dropdown. Use clear, action-oriented language that guides the user’s selection.

Example: Select a Department, Choose a Training Track

Description#

Optional supporting text shown beneath the field. Use this to clarify what the list represents or how to make a selection.

Example: “Choose one option from the list. If unsure, contact HR.”

Required#

Check this to make the field mandatory. Users will be prompted to choose an option before submitting the form.

Dropdown Options#

There are two ways to add options:

1. Single Line Add — Add one item at a time — helpful for short lists or when order matters.

   • “Marketing”
   • “Engineering”
   • “HR”

2. Bulk Add — Paste multiple options at once. Each new line will be converted into an individual dropdown option. Use this when building longer lists quickly or copying from an external source.
