The sources section helps you prepare an option list for an input. There are 2 types of sources,

pre-defined and fixed option list
dynamic
request a dynamic option list via an API call
Follow steps 1 to 7 in the above screenshot to create a source and start editing. Once a source type is selected, you are unable to change it.
Click on Add Item to add as many options as needed. The label is what to display to users and the value is what will be actually stored in the app field.
