List

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 type 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.

Example of a List field type:

You are able to configure how a list is displayed: as a traditional List or as Blocks.

with this display type, list options are displayed in tasks as clickable blocks
