Bento includes a special Choice field that you can use to create a pop-up menu of pre-defined choices. By limiting the type of entries you can prevent the invalid data entries that can occur if you allow direct entry into a text field. For instance, if the purpose of your database is to select a venue for an event, you may want to restrict the selections to locations you’ve already done business with or have easy access to.
Bento: Adding Popup Menus Bento’s Choice Field Creates Pop-up Menus
From Tom Nelson, About.com
Pop-up menus let you restrict the type of entry in a field to a pre-determined selection of choices.
Use the Choices field to create a list of pre-defined choices that will display as a pop-up menu.
