# 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 <a href="#addadropdownquestion" id="addadropdownquestion"></a>

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
On each **answer** line, add one response to the question. Each response can be up to 255 characters.

If you want suppliers to be able to select more than one answer, select **Allow supplier to select multiple answers.**
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### Add answers <a href="#addanswers" id="addanswers"></a>

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 <a href="#reorderanswers" id="reorderanswers"></a>

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 ![](https://docs.fairmarkit.com/content/resources/images/buttons/handle_16x20.png) displays, click the handle and then drag the answer to the new location in the list.
