# Dropdown from List

The Dropdown from List field is a basic dropdown field where you can predefine the values in the editor. For a more advanced equivalent of this field (i.e. load dynamic data) checkout our [Dropdown from Bloc](/blocworx-documentation/bloc-editor/fields-tools-and-charts/linked-data-selection-fields/dropdown-from-another-bloc.md) field.
