Kit Developer Documentation

The select input provides creators with a dropdown menu containing predefined options. It’s ideal for scenarios where you need to present a fixed set of choices such as categories, sizes, or configuration options. The selected value is hidden from creators but passed to your plugin for processing.

If you want to generate dynamic options, please use a search input instead.
