# select

This block is part of the [`state ui`](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/state%20ui) group and was last modified in core [`v13.0.5`](https://docs.rual.nl/core-versions/130005).

## Field Selection Required

This block relies on a field that you select to perform its data actions. You must manually select the field you want to use in your flow using the field selector modal. To access the modal, click the white button on the block.

Generates a basic select. The field will be used as state key.

- form id required `value` A unique ID for the form this field is used in.

- options required `array` The options to be shown in the select. Can either be a list of values or `[{key, value}]`.

- Hide empty option `v13.0.8` `condition`

- class `uiclass` Assigns a CSS class to the element. • Hidden when unused

- style `uistyle` Applies inline CSS style to the element • Hidden when unused

- attributes `uiattributes` Adds custom attributes to the element. • Hidden when unused

- events `v14.0.1` `stateevents` Adds event support to the element • Hidden when unused

- state `state` Returns the element to the frontend state.

A typical wiring for [select](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/state%2520ui/state_select): [value](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/value/value_default) feeds the `form_id` pin; [with values](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/array/array_of_values) feeds the `options` pin; the `state` out pin feeds [get component child](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/state%2520actions/state_component_get_child).
