trying to create a dropdown box that stores entries

Hi AITWheaton,

Thank you for reaching out to Jotform Support. If I got your question right, the dropdown field type is available in the form builder. You can add it from the Basic elements tab and once the user filled out the form, you can view from the submission tables which option was selected.

If that’s not exactly what you’re looking for, can you explain a bit more so I can help you better? 

Once we hear back from you, we'll be able to help you with this.
