 * Hi
 * I was wondering, I know there is location, category and tag. Is there a way I
   could add another? I want one to say “Day” as I am using the plugin to display
   a list of baby & toddler groups in my area and would like a way I could have 
   days to have their our single group.
 * I hope this makes sense.
 * I cannot use category or tag as I am using them to identify group types and extra
   information to aid searching.
 * Would be good on home page have “group type (category) and then day” as a second
   drop down option
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fadding-another-category-field%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi!
 * If you go to **Directory Listings > Directory Builder > Add Listing Form**, you’ll
   see there are various custom fields available under **Custom Fields** on the 
   left, one of them is **Select** which is basically a dropdown option that you
   can use. You can specify as many options as you like here: [https://i.imgur.com/vYV7WjJ.png](https://i.imgur.com/vYV7WjJ.png)
 * It also can be added to your **Search Form** from **Directory Listings > Directory
   Builder > Search Form Layout**. So this should fulfill your need if I understand
   your requirement correctly.

 * Hi
 * Thanks I’ve just done this but I see it’s not a multi select 🙁 I need to have
   option of multi select as groups occur on different days.
 * Anyway can get it to multi select?

 * Hi [@cetacousin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cetacousin/),
 * If you want a multi-select option, you can use the Checkbox field. If you absolutely
   need Dropdown, kindly get in touch with our tech support here: [https://directorist.com/contact](https://directorist.com/contact).
   
   We’ll see if we can do something about it.
 * Regards,
    Mahdi.
