1*What is a Closed List Entity in Copilot Studio?*
In *Copilot Studio**, a closed list entity is a feature used to define a set of **predefined values* that users can select from when interacting with a form or component. This ensures that input is restricted to a specific list of options, maintaining data consistency and preventing errors caused by invalid entries.

*How Does It Work?*
For example, imagine a form where users need to select a country. A closed list entity would present a predefined list of countries for selection. Users can only pick from this list—no custom entries are allowed.
This “closed” structure contrasts with an *open list**, where users could freely add their own values. By limiting input to a fixed set of choices, closed list entities ensure **reliability and standardization* in the data collected.
