Field properties: Smarter choices behind the scenes
Generate choices with Zia
Let AI do the heavy lifting. Describe the list you need, and Zia instantly generates relevant choices for your dropdown, radio, checkbox, and multiple choice fields. From departments and product categories to survey responses and event sessions, populate your choice fields in seconds.
Assign Values
Add assigned values (numeric, text, and email) to each option in your choice fields to power calculations, pricing, or automated workflows behind the scenes. This is especially useful for creating cost estimators, order forms, surveys, or review forms where responses need different weights. Zoho Forms automatically uses these values for calculations and reports, saving you time and manual work.
Global Choice List
Maintain consistency across all your forms by creating a central list of standard choices like country names, departments, job roles, or product categories. Update the list in one place and instantly reflect the changes wherever that list is used. This means no more repetitive editing and fewer mistakes across forms.
Import Choices
Speed up form building by importing long lists of choices directly from files. Upload a CSV or Excel sheet with hundreds of cities, branch locations, or employee names in seconds. This bulk import feature removes the hassle of adding items one by one, especially for large or frequently changing datasets.
Choice Availability
Make your options work smarter by limiting how many times an option can be selected. Choice availability is perfect for event registrations with limited seats, slot booking, or product pre-orders. Once the quota is reached, the option automatically becomes unavailable to future respondents. This real-time availability saves you from multiple bookings without the headache of constant manual tracking.
Every response matters! Make your forms work smarter behind the scenes with enhanced choice fields. Zoho Forms helps you streamline complex workflows, reduce manual effort, and keep your forms clear and reliable, no matter how many options you offer.
