Adding Values to a Form Picklist

New to Marketo! Answers greatly appreciated.

I am creating a global form for a landing page. I want to add picklist values for the # of employees field. 1-10, 11-24, 25-49, 50-99, 100+.

I found this guide in the Product Docs but it is only for a Salesforce sync. I do not yet have my CRM synced with Marketo. My company will not be using Salesforce.

How can I assign values?

Thank you,

Hayley

First, you have a fundamental problem in your choice of field type in Marketo, assuming you have set this as a Number in Field Management.  A range of values cannot be stored in a Number (integer) field. By definition it holds one number at a time.  While you could use the number 1 to signify 1-10, 11 to signify 11-24, etc. this will likely prove cumbersome.  Instead, you should be using a String field.

As for the picklists side, change the Field Type in Form Editor to Select. Then you can manage the values.

Thank you Sanford! That completely makes sense. I changed the field type to "Select" and then I was able to manage the values.

Great, if you could mark my answer as Correct, that would look nice 'n' clean.
