In order to create this field, you will need to create a list of values in the section "Dropdown options and default option". Also you can select the Default value that will be assigned if nothing is chosen from the list.
date - creates date selection option with calendar.
custom HTML - allows to add visual dividers or additional text near the client field. Cannot be used for client input.
