Creating a List
The checkbox, radio and select field types require that you specify a list of options.
Watch this video too see how to create and edit such lists:
Once a list is in place, you can change the field type - but if you choose a field type that does not support lists you will lose the list.
Importing a List
formstrap provides a growing database of lists that you can use in your forms.
Watch this video to see how you can import a list from this database into your form.
You can also use the Import List form to type your list rather than having to add each item one by one. Just type or paste a tab-delimited list into the box (the first column is the Value, the second is the Label). Once you have created a list, you can add it to the formstrap list database (pending review). Watch this video:
Registered users can also create and manage lists from their dashboard.
