How long should a dropdown menu be?
Avoid dropdowns for more than 10 options or less than 5
There are three main issues with dropdowns that have such a large number of options: no overview – seeing more than 20 uncategorized options can be confusing and intimidating to users, making it difficult for them to find the input they need.
Which control would be best to use in order to make a user select only one option from a list of choices?
Checkboxes — are used when there are one or many independent options and users may select any number of choices, including none, one, or several. Radio buttons — are used when there is a list of two or more options that are mutually exclusive and users must select only one of them.
