! Drop Down Tracker Field
This tracker field allows you to create a drop down list of values.  

Put the values you want listed in a comma delimited list. Note: Do not leave spaces between the comma delimited items. 
*Ex:Yes,No,Maybe  __correct__
*Ex:Yes, No, Maybe __incorrect__

Tiki > 1.9.7: If you repeat a value, this value will be used as the default value and will be pre-populated in your tracker form. In the example below, there are four different values for the dropdown with "1-2" as the default value.
~tc~ the align property prevents the image from viewing
{img align="center" src="img/wiki_up/tracker-dropdown1.png" }~/tc~
{img src="img/wiki_up/tracker-dropdown1.png" }

If the field is optional, an empty value will be automatically added at the top of the values.
The options are automatically translated . See ((Interface translation (old))) to know how to add a translation.

Note that each value must be unique. IE: it is not possible to do
{CODE()}0=false,1=true,1=almost true,0=almost false{CODE}

! Drop Down with other value
tiki>=1.9.7
The field works as the Drop Down field, except that it proposes a text field to enter an alternative value

! Radio Tracker Field
tiki >= 2.0
The field works like a drop down field but displays a radio choice.
If you repeat a value, this value will be used as the default value and will be pre-populated in your tracker form.
{img src="img/wiki_up/tracker_dropdown2.jpg" }
If the first value of the option is the string '<br>', each option display will be on a different line - otherwise they will be on the same line (tiki>=2.1)

!!Sample with default selected value and label
{CODE(color="tiki")}y=yes,y=yes,n=no{CODE}

! Multilingual
Each option in all the fields are translated before being displayed. See ((Multilingual trackers)).

!!Sample with default selected value and label in non-latin language
{CODE(color="tiki")}y=כן,y=כן,n=לא{CODE}


!Very long lists
For very long lists, you can use ((Items List and Item Link Tracker Fields))
