About This Feature

Overview

The Multidimensional Form Option Field is a basic field type in a multidimensional table. It lets you choose one value from a preset list and write it into a 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-option field for structured classification.
Add and edit options to maintain available values and display colors.
Batch edit options to generate multiple entries at once.
Allow new options during data entry when categories change over time.
Set a default value so new records start with a common option.

This feature is useful when you want more consistent data entry, fewer free-text variations, and easier filtering and analysis in table-based workflows.
