A select attribute lets the user choose an option from a list of up to 100 options.

```yaml
  - name: status
    type: select
    label: Dev tasks status
    options:
      - name: not_started
        label: "🤔 Not Started"
      - name: in_progress
        label: "🏃In Progress"
      - name: completed
        label: "✅ Completed"
```

Set **multiSelect** to _true_ to create a select attribute where the user can choose multiple options.

```yaml
  - name: areasAffected
    type: select
    label: Areas affected
    multiSelect: true
    options:
      - name: network
        label: Network infrastructure
      - name: database
        label: Database server
      - name: business
        label: Business processes
```

#### Option filters

You can use option filters to build dynamic select attributes, where the list of options depends on
another setting. This is used by the [Jira connector](https://conclude.io/doc/developer/jira/) to create an _Issue status_
attribute which depends on _Issue type_.

Here is a _jira_type_ attribute that can be either a task or a bug. It is read-only, which means
that it cannot be changed after a ticket has been created:
```yaml
  - name: jira_type
    type: select
    label: Issue type
    mandatory: true
    readonly: true
    options:
     - name: task
       label: Task
     - name: bug
       label: Bug
```

The _jira_status_ attribute depends on the type of issue. If the issue type is a task, the
options are: To Do, In Progress and Done. If the issue type is a bug, there will be an additional
option In Progress.
```yaml
- name: jira_status
   type: select
   label: Status
   options:
    - name: to_do
      label: To Do
    - name: in_review
      label: In Review
      filter: jira_type == bug
    - name: in_progress
      label: In Progress
    - name: done
      label: Done
```

There are two ways to create a filter:
- `attribute == value`, or
- `attribute in [value1, value2, ...]`

Here is an example using the second form.

```yaml
- name: jira_status
   type: select
   label: Status
   options:
    - name: to_do
      label: To Do
      filter: jira_type in [task,bug,epic]
    - name: in_review
      label: In Review
      filter: jira_type in [bug]
    - name: in_progress
      label: In Progress
      filter: jira_type in [task,bug]
    - name: done
      label: Done
      filter: jira_type in [task,bug,epic]
```
