### Multiple Choice Options

You will find various settings options for customizing the field. Located in the **Input Customization Tab**, these options allow you to configure essential aspects of the**Multiple Choice**field.

**All the Settings under the Multiple Choice Field mentioned above are briefly explained below – **

**A. Element Label:**This is the field title the users will see when filling out the **Multiple Choice**field in a form. You can enter any text here to help users understand the purpose of the field.

**B. Label Placement:** This option allows you to determine the position of the label title where the user will see it. The available options are **Top**, **Left**, **Right**, and **Default**. All of those are self-explanatory except the **Default**. If you select the **Default** option, it will represent your global label placement settings.

**C. Admin Field Label:** The admin field label is a field title displayed only to admin users. You can configure this option to show a different field label for your admin users when they view the form submissions.   

**D. Placeholder:**When the input field is empty, a message is usually shown to the users so they can understand what the field expects from them. This is the equivalent of the HTML input placeholder attribute. 

**E. Options:**Create multiple choices for users to select from.

- **Show Values** (for admin reference).
- **Add, Remove,**or**Edit Options**.
- **Insert an Option Anywhere** using the **Plus Icon**.
- **Drag & Drop to Rearrange Options**.

**F. Show & Calc Value:**Users will get **Show** and **Calc** Values options. You may display your data and perform calculations using Show and Calc Values.

**G. Bulk Edit/Predefined Data Sets:** You can choose from a predefined data set for the dropdown field, so you don’t have to add each item manually.

You can also save time by importing predefined datasets instead of manually adding each option. (valid for dropdowns like countries or states.)

**H. Shuffle the available options:** You can enable the shuffling of your dropdown list or select field options so that every user sees a randomized option.

**I. Max Selection:**Set a limit on a user's choices.

**H. Required:** Decide whether users must select at least one option before submission.

Advanced settings allow further customization to meet specific use cases. All the **Settings** under the **Advanced Options**tab mentioned in the screenshot are briefly explained below.

**A. Dynamic Default Value:** Using our shortcodes, you can manually set any fixed value in your field and pre-fill your input field dynamically.

**B. Container Class:** Use this option to add your custom CSS classes to the field’s wrapper.

**C. Element Class:**Add custom CSS classes to the input field.

**D. Help Message:**This option allows you to guide your user thoroughly. Add your text here, which will be shown as a help message to the user.

**E. Name Attribute:** The input field’s name attribute is the HTML equivalent of the same name. You don’t need to modify this.

**F. Conditional Logic:** This option allows you to create specific rules to dynamically hide/show the input field to function conditionally based on your submission values according to your set of conditional logics.
