Fields of ‘List’ type contain a certain number of values from which users are able to select only one.
‘List’ type fields will be represented as drop-down lists on the front-end for users.
For example “Country” field:

To edit a field of ‘list’ type you need to click on the “Edit” icon opposite this field in the Admin Panel.
E.g. to edit “Country” field you need to go to Listing Configuration > Common Fields > Country > "Edit" icon. This "Country" field is used for listings only.

 Note: There are two more "Country" fields in the system which are used for Users. 
 To edit Job Seekers' "Country" field you need to go to Users > User Groups > Job Seekers > 
 > Edit User Profile Fields > edit Country. 

 And if you need to edit Employers' "Country" field - go to Users > User Groups > Employers > 
 > Edit User Profile Fields > edit Country 


On the opened page, where you can edit 'list' type field, there will be the form to modify the ‘list’ type field parameters and select/enter the default value to be set for this particular field. For example “State” field

 Note: If a field you are editing is a User Profile field (like in the example above) - 
 you can select the desired default value for the list of values of this field. 

 But if a field you are editing is a Listing field - then you can either select the value 
 from the fields' values list or select one of the User Profile fields to be used as a default value.

Once the changes are done - press the "Save" button.

If you need to edit the values of a ‘list’ type field - click on the “Edit List Values” link under the Edit field info form:

There will be the following page opened:

There you can add new value(s), delete needless ones, edit existing ones and change the order list values will be displayed for users.

 Note: The instructions how to make all these actions are described in the “Quick links” section of the Manual 
 by the example of Edit “Countries list” values.
