Enter a label for the list.

If the label is for internal purposes and should not appear on the website, select Hide label.

To require users to select a value in the list before they can submit the form, select Required.

If the list is required, enter text to appear beside it when users attempt to submit the form without selecting a value in the list.

If the list is for internal purposes and should not appear on the website, select Hidden. You must select a value in the Default value field.

Enter instructional text or additional information about the list. A link beside the list allows users to access the text.

To override the default Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) format of the page where the form appears, enter a custom CSS class.

For information about style sheets, see Style Sheets.

In the dropdown list, select whether to create a list or import entries from a code table. To create a list, enter values on separate lines. To import code table entries, select the code table. You can edit the code table entries you import, but your changes do not affect the source code table.

Warning: For checkbox lists, entries cannot include nonaphanumeric characters such as “<,” “>,” and “&.” If you import a code table entry or enter a list item with such characters, no label appears on the form for that entry’s checkbox.

Enter a value to select by default in this list when users start the form.

To allow users to enter values not in the list, select Allow other. When users select “Other,” a field appears on the form for these values.

If you allow users to enter their own values, enter the maximum number of characters for the field.
