# Form Elements

## Summary

All form elements mostly follow the same pattern: 

* a **symbol** (like :, $, \* etc)
* **square brackets**:
  * an identifier: lets you refer to the selected value in [Templating & Interpolation](/fig/interactive-runbooks-2/templating-and-interpolation.md)
  * a placeholder value
* **curly braces**:
  * let you define a default value (or a list of options in the case of a dropdown)
  * uses Fig's [scripting language](/fig/interactive-runbooks-2/rundown-language.md)

```
^[identifier: placeholder ]{ script }
```

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** There should NEVER be a space between the square brackets and curly braces 
{% endhint %}
