Drop-down list
The drop-down list property type offers the possibility to create custom enumerations. A special editor is used to create and manage the list's values:
Clicking the plus button 1 adds a new line to the list. You can remove values by clicking the x-button 2. After removing values from the drop-down list it can be useful to renumber the entries 3 to avoid gaps between values. As designer/ writer you don't need to worry about the value and technical name row a lot. They should only be used to have more control of the exported output.
After editing the display names of values a click on "rename" 4 automatically adapts the technical name. To change the order of entries in the list, use the up/down buttons on the right 5.
You can make drop-down fields searchable, which can be very useful when a lot of options are present.
Toggle the checkmark 6 for a drop-down property in the Feature editor to be searchable or not.

If working with the Unreal Engine the values need to start at 0. A range from 0 – 255 is allowed, a 0 value is required and usually should be chosen as the default, most used entry.
