Metadata type Single selection
Single selection metadata is a metadata type where a number of selections are presented to the user, who in turn chooses one of them. The person who creates the metadata field can set a value that is preselected if the user does not select any of the options in the list. You can also allow the user to create a custom option.
For example
Single selection meta can be used to specify whether a news item appears on the home page. The options are then "yes" or "no". Only one option can be selected.
