There are two default dropdown options:  Project Status, which includes selections for "Not Started", "Blocked", "In Progress" and "Complete"  Review Status, which includes selections for "Not Started", "In Progress", "Under Review" and "Approved".  Additionally, you can create a dropdown chip with custom options and colors to best suit your needs. We're also adding table templates, which allow you to quickly insert building blocks for common workflows such as a: Launch content tracker Project asset Review tracker Product roadmap The columns within the template include a sample row of content to help guide you on how they can be used and customized.
