Dropdown

A widget that allows a user to select a single item from a dropdown menu, or optionally input a string. Value can be saved as a string, number, or bool.

The choiceSettings object described in the Parameters page is required for defining an instance of this parameter.

To add a separator between items, add a choice item with a value of -----.
