Choice field

Lets users select from a predefined set of options. It keeps categories consistent across tasks.

When to use

Use it for priority, delivery method, status, or service categories. A dropdown suits a longer list; radio buttons make a short single selection visible; checkboxes or tags suit visible selections. Enable multiple choice when more than one option may apply. Use Text for answers that cannot be predefined.

Settings

• Options (options) and Default value (default_value).
• Display as (display_as): Dropdown, Radio, Checkbox, or Tag.
• Multiple choice (multiple_choice), Show name (show_name), and In row (in_row).
• Status field (is_status_field): use this Choice as the task status. Only one status Choice is allowed per form, and it cannot allow multiple choices.
• Color, field size, and inline layout.

Checkbox and Dropdown are displays of Choice, not separate types supported by the current field-creation schema. A Yes/No choice is useful for a business flag; task completion itself belongs to Is Finished.

See shared field settings for workflow visibility, requirements, and layout options supported by this type.
