# Dropdown and Select

#### 🔽 Dropdown vs. Select

**Dropdown** and **Select** are the **same element** in terms of functionality — they both allow customers to choose a single value from a list of options. The only difference is **how they look on the storefront**.

* **Dropdown**: Displays as a traditional dropdown menu.
* **Select**: Has a more modern or styled appearance, but still works the same way.

**🔧 Basic Settings:**

You can customize the following:

* **Label** / **Name**: Edit the label text or field name.
* **Required Field**: Specify whether customers must make a selection.
* **Hidden Field**: Optionally hide the field from customers.

**➕ Allow Multiple Selection:**

* For **Dropdowns** and **Select** elements, you can choose whether to allow **multiple selections**. This is useful for options where customers might want to select more than one choice (e.g., multiple product features or color options).&#x20;

In the Advanced setting, you can set up similarly to other elements&#x20;
