There are many uses for Bento’s Choices field. Here, the Choices field is being used to designate the type of email address (home or work) that is being entered into a field. This is a good use of pop-up menus; it keeps your form from getting cluttered with multiple fields that contain similar data. It also presents an interface that is easy for the individual completing the form to use.
