Use an options list or menu when you want to present a user with lots of choices in a limited space. Although you create a form list or form menu in the same Property inspector, lists and menus provide different functionality to the user.
Use a list when you want to control the number of options displayed. You set the list's line height; when the number of list options exceed the line height, a scroll bar appears, allowing users to view all the options. You can also allow users to select multiple items in a list.
Use a menu when space is very limited. A menu displays a single-line entry, and includes a down arrow that a user clicks to reveal the other menu choices. A user can only choose one menu item at a time. See also, Creating jump menus.
