# Select

A choice from the given options: a bouquet, a size, a branch, a way to contact. The value of the chosen option goes into the variable.

![The "Select" element: the "Bouquet" field on the screen and the options in the settings](https://support.watbot.org/_media/en/02-mini-apps/15-elements/_images/select.webp?v=1791781230)

## Settings

- **"Variable"**, **"Label"**, **"Placeholder"**, **"Default value"** — as for [all fields](https://support.watbot.org/mini-apps/elements/fields#shared-settings). The default value is the value of one of the options.
- **"Selection"** — "Multiple choice". Several options go into the variable as one comma-separated string.
- **"How to show"**:
  - "Alert" — a window in the middle of the screen with the "Cancel" and "OK" buttons;
  - "Dropdown" — the choice applies at once;
  - "Bottom sheet" — the choice applies at once. The sheet does not support multiple choice.

## Options

"Add option" adds a new option at the end; up to 100 options. An option has:

- **"Title"** — what the person sees;
- **"Value"** — what goes into the variable. If empty, the title goes into the variable.

## Validation and style

- "Helper text", "Error text", "Required field" — as in the [Validation](https://support.watbot.org/mini-apps/elements/fields#validation) section.
- **"Label placement"**, **"Row alignment"** ("Start", "End", "Space between"), **"Filling"** and "Round".
- **"Buttons in the picker dialog"** — your own labels instead of "OK" and "Cancel".
- **"State"** — "Disabled".
