| People | Salutations |
| Organizations/teams | Days of the week |
| Roles | Months of the year |
| Timezones | |
| Countries | |
| Countries with code | |

| Importance |
How to add a list of countries as predefined options in a select (dropdown) field
Note: All the other miscellaneous options, such as salutations, days of the week, months of the year, timezones, countries with country code, satisfaction and importance, work in exactly the same way as the ‘countries’ example and can be added as options in radiobutton, checkbox and select (dropdown) fields.

Within an existing form, click the “Add a new field” button. Select ‘Select (dropdown)’ as the type of field. Give the field a label.
-
Instead of typing in custom options, click the ‘Switch to predefined options’ button.
