Select
Configuration reference: Lista
Overview
The Select component provides a dropdown list of predefined options. Users choose from the configured list rather than typing free text. It supports both single and multi-select modes.
Use it for status fields, categories, types, priorities, or any field with a finite set of known values.
Options configuration
Defining options
Each option in the list has:
- ID — A unique identifier (auto-generated UUID)
- Label — The display text shown to users (e.g., "Active", "Pending", "Closed")
Options are maintained through the component's configuration panel. You can add, edit, reorder, and remove options.
Single vs. multi-select
| Mode | Description |
|---|---|
| Single select | User picks one option from the dropdown (default) |
| Multi-select | User can select multiple options, displayed as chips/badges |
Enable multi-select via the Is Multi-Select toggle in configuration.
On a phone, single select opens a sheet from the bottom of the screen instead of the dropdown, with a search field when there are more than 8 options.
Placeholder
Set a custom placeholder text that appears when no option is selected (e.g., "Choose a status...").
