 * Hey [@mitsakos999](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mitsakos999/),
 * Yes, you can surely do it.
 * here you have the code snippet which you can use to achieve this:
 *     ```
       add_filter( 'pirate_forms_public_controls', 'pf_add_subject_dropdown' );
       function pf_add_subject_dropdown( $elements ) {
       	foreach ( $elements as $key => $element ) {
       		if ( $element['id'] === 'pirate-forms-contact-subject' ) {
       			$elements[ $key ]['type']    = 'select';
       			$elements[ $key ]['options'] = array(
       				'My subject option 1' => 'My subject option 1',
       				'My subject option 2' => 'My subject option 2',
       				'My subject option 3' => 'My subject option 3'
       			);
       		}
       	}
   
       	return $elements; 
       }
       ```
   
 * Obviously you need to replace the select option with your values.

 * Thank you for your fast answer, it works great
    Is there any way to make the 
   first option something like a placeholder, or not a valid option..so the user
   will have to select some of the remaining choices ? I m marking this as resolved
   🙂 Great support
