# How Do I Add Values to My List?

## Overview

When creating or editing a list in the Legacy Form Builder, you'll notice a Name column and a Value column**.** **Name** is the text that will appear on the form in the app. **Value** is the text that will appear on the report. By default, the value of a list will be the same as the name you entered. However, there may be times when you want to have the name and value be different. For example, users could select the name of a piece of equipment from a list on the form (e.g., *Wrench*), while the value that appears on the report would be the tool's serial number (e.g., *W123*).
