Selection Input

Choose from predefined options

What it solves

A selection input is a form control that allows users to choose one option from a predefined list of options. The selected option is typically displayed in a single-line text field, with the list of options hidden until the user interacts with the control.

When to use

• When users need to select a single option from a list of predefined choices
• When the list of options is relatively short (less than 10-15 items)
• When screen space is limited, and displaying all options at once is not feasible
• When the selected option doesn't need to be visible at all times
