Synopsis
How to use select with option fields to create a dropdown input
Description
The select element is used to create a drop-down list.
The name attribute is needed to reference the form data after the form is submitted (if you omit the name attribute, no data from the drop-down list will be submitted).
The id attribute is needed to associate the drop-down list with a label.
The <option></option>tags inside the <select> element define the available options in the drop-down list.
Instead of option inputs, it's also possible to use selected and options as attributes of the select element. In this case options should contain a comma-separated list of options and selected can be used to specify which option should be selected.
Parameters
<select><option></option></select>
You can also use placeholder to have an extra, non-selectable item with a suggestion. This also allows for not sending any data from a select, when the placeholder is still selected. Making a select field also an optional field in a form. See example 1.
Select values have by default comma separated values when adding to a Template. You can specify a different separator using the argument separator. e.g. separator=";".
