# Drop-down questions
For request for information and request for proposal events and templates, you can create drop-down questions. With drop-down questions, you can control the available answers, making it easier for you to analyze responses and for suppliers to respond to your events. For each question, you must define at least two answer options and can add up to 50 answers. When adding and sorting your responses for questions, keep in mind that suppliers will see the first five responses and then will scroll to view additional options.
### Add a drop-down question
For a [request for proposal](/glossary/glossary/email/suppliers-emails.md#request-for-proposal-rfp-request-for-information-rfi-event-emails) or a [request for information](/suppliers/suppliers/request-for-information-rfi.md) event or a [template](https://docs.fairmarkit.com/content/buyers/rfp/templates/create.htm), complete the following:
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Add a Service Question line item.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
In **Service Description**, enter your question.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
In **UOM**, select *multiple choice answers*.The question builder displays.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
On each **answer** line, add one response to the question. Each response can be up to 255 characters.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
If you want suppliers to be able to select more than one answer, select **Allow supplier to select multiple answers.**
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
### Add answers
By default, two answers are added to a drop-down question. However, you can add up to 50 answers to a question.
* Within your drop-down question, click **Add Answer** to add more lines.
### Reorder answers
When adding and sorting your responses for questions, keep in mind that suppliers will see the first five responses and then will scroll to view additional options.
* Hover near the left side of an answer until a handle  displays, click the handle and then drag the answer to the new location in the list.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.fairmarkit.com/buyers/events/create-an-event/add-questions/drop-down-questions.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
