In Jotform Tables, you can add dropdown list columns which can be useful if you need to create status labels to assign to form submissions or project tasks. For example, if you have a request form, approvers can indicate the status of each request using the dropdown options directly in Jotform Tables.
To create a dropdown list
- In Jotform Tables, add or insert a new column. See How to Add and Organize Columns for more information.

How do you go in and edit an existing dropdown list. For instance I set up a Status column and now I want to edit it and add another function. For some reason I can't seem to find a way to see an edit button.
Also this data base management tool is fantastic! When are you going to set up multi factor authentication in JOTFORM? If you did then, there is no need for a separate stand alone integration with any other case management system like Airtable. This would be a game changer, since we would not have to use slow key encryption as a security feature.
