What is the difference between static and dynamic data
Static data is restricted to a particular text list you input at tht time. Dynamic data is typically linked to a variable or data thatbis sibject to change, like a particular set of data in the database or an Option set.
For example, a static data might be you manually entering “2/17/85”, “6/23/92”, and “10/2/95” as choices in a dropdown. A dynamic data might be you setting the dropdown to a datatype of ‘Users Birthdays’ and having the source be a list of all birthdays your users have entered; and if a new user input their birthday, or another user updated tbeir birthday, the dropdown would change accordingly.

Static data remains unchanged unless manually updated, such as a list of country names. Dynamic data changes frequently and is updated automatically, like live sports scores. Static data is typically more predictable, while dynamic data requires real-time processing.
