This type of field is used for selections from a pre-defined list of values. In this context, the list field type is very similar to the Directory entry field type. It's generally better to use the Directory entry if you have many values in your list and it is updated often; however, it makes more sense to use List if you don't have many values and you don't add new values very often. You can create a List field as a custom field, a directory field, or as a data tag field.

Example of a List field type:
