Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.# Summary
Options Element is a module that provides a better mechanism to specify select list, checkbox, and radio button options. Rather than requiring the user to use strange syntax like "key|value" in a textarea, Options Element provides a clean interface for specifying options.

Persuade maintainers to release as dev and tag as alpha or beta if at all.

colanThis is no longer necessary in Drupal 8 as the Taxonomy subsystem (Term Reference fields) can be used instead, and have much better usability than Options lists.
See #3022862: Consider deprecating the Options module in favour of Taxonomy for details.
