Go to the :guilabel:`Forms` module and choose an existing form or create a new
form.


Adding a country select element
===============================

To add a country select element on the form, click on the
:guilabel:`Create new element` button at the bottom of the stage area. A modal
window with the :guilabel:`New element` wizard opens:

.. figure:: ../Images/new-element-wizard.png
   :class: with-shadow
   :alt: New element wizard

Under the group :guilabel:`Select elements` you'll find the form element
:guilabel:`Country select`. Click on the element to add it to the form.


Configuration of the element
============================

Now you can configure the country select element:

.. figure:: ../Images/element-options.png
   :class: with-shadow
   :alt: Element options


:aspect:`Label`

   Enter the label which should be shown to the visitor.

:aspect:`Description`

   An additional description can be added to show some more information about
   this form element to the visitor.

:aspect:`First option (empty value)`

   By default, the selection field with the countries has no empty option. You
   can enter a value here to add an empty option at the beginning of the country
   list (like the single select element).

:aspect:`Default value`

   If desired, insert here the `alpha-2 code <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2>`__
   of the country you would like to be selected by default (e.g. DE for Germany).

:aspect:`Required field`

   If an option should be selected then activate this checkbox.
