Thanks for the reply. To try to add to the dropdown list, I was using commas, semi-colons, everything except - hitting return on the keyboard! So, so silly. :-)

You can use the Custom Fields button on the card as mentioned above to select + New field, then Dropdown. After adding options, you can click the gray tile to select a different color for each option.

Do you know if the ability to change the name of the button has been removed? I followed a tutorial on YouTube from 2017 and seems that was once a feature, yet I can't seem to find it now. Meaning, changing 'custom field' to say, "Other details".

Thanks

Hi Rosa

Assuming you've added it as a power-up to your board:

Just open custom fields → edit → +new fields → Type: dropdown
