# Select field

Choose from a predefined list of local options.

Use for tags, categories, statuses, and other fixed option lists.

## Options

Key | Description
--- | ---
<code class="text-[var(--prism-keyword)]">values</code> | Required. Static options (e.g. `["Draft", "Review", "Published"]` or `[{ name: draft, label: Draft }]`).
<code class="text-[var(--prism-keyword)]">multiple</code> | If `true`, allows multiple values.
<code class="text-[var(--prism-keyword)]">min</code> | Minimum number of selected values when `multiple` is enabled.
<code class="text-[var(--prism-keyword)]">max</code> | Maximum number of selected values when `multiple` is enabled.
<code class="text-[var(--prism-keyword)]">placeholder</code> | Custom placeholder text (e.g. `"Select a status"`).

`select` only supports predefined local options. If you need to load entries dynamically or from another source, use [reference](/docs/configuration/fields/reference/) instead.
