If the Allow players to set first item in list option has been selected in the List configuration, then the top line show the Prompt text specified in the Prompt to select first item field and a drop-down list of the list items to use to select the First element.

If the Allow players to select list options option has been selected in the List configuration, then each element of the List will be displayed with a Checkbox to select whether or not that List item should be used.
