 * I am trying to add a dropdown menu option in the job application. I want to know
   the source of the website job applicants came from.
 * I followed the customization application form fields but am having no luck. [https://wpjobmanager.com/document/applications-customising-application-form-fields/](https://wpjobmanager.com/document/applications-customising-application-form-fields/)
 * Is there any kind of help I can get to get this to show up as a dropdown.

 * That appears to work; just needs extra options:
 *     ```
       'options'     => array( '0' => 'N/A', 'test' => 'test', 'test2 => 'test2' ),
       ```
