In the simplest form, text can be entered here to create drop-down items. Each line will be a new item. i.e. Following entry will create 3 items.

If you want to have a line break in any of the drop-down items, use "\n" in the text. It will be replaced with line-break during run-time. i.e.


Dear Sir,\nThank you so much for referring this patient.\nWe have examined him/her, and our findings are as below.
Dear Sir,\nR. W. C. this patient for pre-operative fitness assessment.\nPlease do his/her cardio-respiratory assessment and issue the fitness for the surgery.
