Create Source

 

Follow steps 1 to 7 in the above screenshot to create a source and start editing. Once a source type is selected, you are unable to change it.

 

Static Source

 

Click on Add Item to add as many options as needed. The label is what to display to users and the value is what will be actually stored in the app field.

 

Dynamic Source

 

Configure the external request to get the option list.

Specify the path for the whole list first, and the relative paths for getting the value and label in each item of the list.

Sources can be used wherever you edit an input item:

 

Choose Select in the input type and pick a source in the drop-down list.
