# Select

> Create a dropdown input with a list of options that downstream nodes can react to. Useful for publishing user-facing controls in Tools and Apps.

![A Select input node with three options and the dropdown open](https://mintcdn.com/runchat/rUDQhtaRtUR5pk6i/images/nodes/select-input.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=rUDQhtaRtUR5pk6i\&q=85\&s=e2e031dd027471bcf8037997ba14de7e)

The `select` node allows you to create and select from a list of options. Click **Add option**, type the option and press **Enter** (or click **Add**).
It works slightly differently to the other input node types. When you connect a list of values to the input, it will create a list of options.
To use the select input, copy this node with the options and paste it onto the canvas. This will save the options while disconnecting the input.
