Choose between Literal value and Value from form.

Notice that there is a new input field in the panel. Choose between Literal value and Value from form. A Literal value is a value that will be the same every time this field is displayed. A Value from form is a value that is derived from another webform field. Only fields that show up before the currently selected field and also match the type of the current field can be used.
