Hello Team,

Could you pls tell us how to create a dropdown options for a build for user input values.

I referred the below url and tried like the below code in bitrise.yml. It’s not working.

> You could be able to specify “build templates” in the bitrise.yml, and then “build a template” both with CLI in local and on [bitrise.io](http://bitrise.io) “Build a template” would look like this: the inputs defined in the template have to be provided manually (in the CLI it’d ask for those in the Terminal/Command Line, on [bitrise.io](http://bitrise.io) it’d present a popup with the inputs) then the build would run exactly the same as a normal build.

Hi @radhaa!

Unfortunately customizing the UI to this extent through the .yml is not an option at the moment. The thread you are referencing here is an idea / #feature-request, not the current behaviour of the website.

Note: `value_options` works on **step input** level, but not on (workflow, app, …) env vars level.

I’d suggest you to open a #feature-request for this @radhaa, or to vote on my #feature-request ( [Build / Release templates - specify inputs the user have to provide before starting the build](http://discuss.bitrise.io/t/build-release-templates-specify-inputs-the-user-have-to-provide-before-starting-the-build/1447) ).
