Extra: Display options in the Choice field
You have various options for displaying the different choices in the form
You can display the options stored in a Choice field in 3 different ways.
Combobox
The desired value is selected from a drop-down menu.
Recommended use
There is a default option, which can be placed at the top of the selection list
There are more than 7 entries (then it’s best to sort them alphabetically)
The options do not need to be compared
A “More” or “Other” option is needed
Radio Buttons
All options are visible. Simply click on the desired value.
Recommended use
All options should be visible at a glance
When there are 5 or less choices
It should be possible to compare the options
It should be possible to quickly select them
Switch
In our example this would probably not be the best choice, as there are 4 options. Nevertheless, we would like to show it to you so that you can get a better idea as to how the different display options compare.
Recommended use
There are up to 3 options
There is a default option
It should be possible to toggle quickly between 2 simple options like On and Off (if you need only Yes and No, we recommend the Yes / No field).
