# Dropdown

<figure><img src="/files/fpcAdks8Ms1rBlfRbtLU" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The dropdown custom field allows you to create your own dropdown menu with custom options.

The value field sets the value of the item, while the text field only controls the displayed text. The value field is mandatory and must be filled out for the system to function properly.

It is possible to set a value that is different from the title text. This can be useful when creating reports, as it allows you to enter more complex values while retaining a friendly user interface.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Do not duplicate values, as this will prevent the system from working properly.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.agilecase.com/administrator-documentation/types-of-custom-field/dropdown.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
