2. Create a definition

def

Give a name to your field; typically, it is named "dropdown." In the fourth field, select "dropdown." In the fifth field, create your values according to your objective. In this example, it's the background that will change from light to dark.

3. Create the conditions

First, select the element in the template that should change based on the dropdown. Then, press the condition icon.

You need to create a condition for each element that changes based on the dropdown. In this example, since the background is changing, you'll need to create one condition for the pale background and a different condition for the dark background.

 The "Name" field can be named as you wish. The condition fields (1st to 4th fields) must be identical to those shown in the photo above. In the "Value" field, you must write what you entered in the "Value" field in step 2.

Note: the "Value" field must be written EXACTLY the same way as it was written in step 2 for it to work.
