About This Feature

Overview

The Multidimensional Form Option Field in WPS Office for macOS is a basic field type for multidimensional tables. It lets you store one selected value from a preset list in each cell. It works well for scenarios such as project status, team ownership, and region classification where consistent categories matter.

Core capabilities include:

Create a single-choice option field for controlled categorization.
Add and edit options to maintain available values and display colors.
Batch edit options when you need to add many categories at once.
Allow new options during data entry for more flexible collection.
Set a default value so new records start with a common option.

System Requirements

Item	Requirement
Operating system	A Mac device that can run WPS Office normally
App version	The latest version of WPS Office for Mac is recommended
Network	Local field setup usually does not require a constant connection; keep network access available for sign-in, sync, or collaboration
Other	You need access to open or create a multidimensional table and permission to edit the table

Capability Summary	The Multidimensional Form Option Field supports creating a single-choice field, maintaining option lists, batch editing options, allowing new options during entry, and setting a default value.	Microsoft Forms Choice questions let you add and remove options and configure settings such as multiple answers, required, drop-down, and branching. The public help page does not describe a default selected value for a choice question.	Google Forms lets you add and edit options for multiple choice or drop-down questions and shuffle option order. Its official help content focuses on form question editing.	Notion database Select properties let users choose one option from a tag list, create and edit properties, and adjust tag names, colors, and order.	Adobe Acrobat PDF forms support drop-down lists, radio buttons, checkboxes, and list boxes, with field properties used to define behavior.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS combines option maintenance, batch input, add-during-entry behavior, and default value setup in one field configuration flow. Distinct: It fits table-based data entry directly.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft Forms is more focused on surveys and quizzes, and the public official page does not show a default value setup for choice questions.	Compared with WPS: Google Forms is more focused on collecting responses, while default values and table-style batch option maintenance are not the main focus of its official guidance.	Compared with WPS: Notion Select is centered on database tagging, while WPS directly supports default values and add-during-entry behavior in a table entry workflow.	Compared with WPS: Adobe Acrobat is mainly designed for PDF form creation, so table-style option maintenance is not its main workflow.

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is category entry and field maintenance inside a multidimensional table, WPS keeps the workflow more centralized. Microsoft and Google focus more on form collection, Notion focuses more on database tagging, and Adobe focuses more on PDF form building.

Use Cases

No.	Scenario	Suitable For	Main Pain Point	Solution
1	Project status tracking	Project managers and execution teams	Status names are inconsistent and hard to summarize	Create a single-choice field for values such as Not Started, In Progress, and Completed
2	Team ownership classification	Admin, HR, and operations teams	The same team may be entered with different names	Use preset options to standardize team names
3	Region or channel tagging	Sales and marketing teams	Too many categories make manual entry error-prone	Use batch edit to add region or channel options at once
4	Fast category expansion	Business data entry staff	New categories appear during live entry	Turn on add-during-entry so new values can become options
5	Default classification for new records	Frequent data entry users	The same option must be selected repeatedly	Set a default value for automatic filling in new records
