Use dropdown fields in Zapier Tables

Dropdown fields are a specific field type in Zapier Tables. They display a set list of values that users can select to avoid data entry errors and inconsistencies.

Dropdown source types

You can add options for your dropdown field from different sources:

• Static list: Enter the available options directly in the field setup. 
• Another table or field: Select another table or another field from the same table to be the source of the dropdown.
