Drop down box and lists
I would like to see a drop-down box as an option. I created a choose a student and it lists 109 students. I would like it to be a drop-down option. It would also be user friendly if I could just ...

Hi Brian,
If you add more than 6 options, the choice question will turn into dropdown control automatically.
Please note that the dropdown control only supports single choice.
New update [July, 2018]
We have enabled a settings in choice question, so you could manage "dropdown" by yourselves.

no drop-down list possible
Zhongzhong_Li The "drop-down list" does not pop us if the user selects the "multiple answer" option. Perhaps this could also explain why some people do not see this.

Hi NickVanMaele
You'll need to turn off Multiple answers to see the drop-down list option.
The drop-down list only supports one selection at a time.
Edit: I should have added, maybe it should still show the drop down list option but grayed out or something to let the user know that they must turn off the Multiple answers switch.
Cheers
Damien

Any reason why why we can't have a multi-select drop-down menu (with little tick boxes down along the right hand side) similarly to filters in Excel for example?
Its a simple solution - drop down and multiselect aren't inherently mutually exclusive....
Look Forward to your response.
Thanks,

Rhys_Templeman why does it need to be a dropdown? A multi-select choice question is do-able now.

How do I add a drop down box on my spreadsheet, I am sorry but the info above does not help me - NickVanMaeleDec 11, 2019Copper ContributorThanks Damien. After posting my original post, I had stumbled across this "multiple answers unchecked" solution later on and I had updated the post for Zhongzhong Li accordingly.
