Help text: Add a short description to explain the purpose of the Switch option. It can be displayed as Tooltips or Content (Below/Beside the option title, Below the option).
Default value: Pre-select the Dropdown options every time the customer goes to the site. It can save time for customers by providing common or expected choices.
Example: Default size selection set to "XS" for a Dog's shirt
Default text on dropdown: Display placeholder text in the dropdown before the customer makes a selection.
Example: “Select a size” or “Choose an option.”
Search bar: If your dropdown contains a long list of options, enable a search bar to make it easier for customers to find their preferred choice.
Example: A dropdown with 20+ fragrances for perfume
