Hi @Tessa_learner1 

If my understanding is correct, you want list of states in a dropdown using datasource. There are lot of solutions for this and i'm gonna link them below.

Hello @JeevanRaj  Yes, I want a states dropdown using datasource. Actually I have tried this with custom component it's working. But I just want to do with AEM form options(core form container) since I'm creating Registration form. So I don't know how to create this datasource in form options. Can you guide me ??

Got it. You will have to create a granite datasource for this. I'll link below on how to create a granite datasource. Create a slingServlet registered with resourceType. This resourceType should be given in the 'Datasource' field in the forms dialog. In the sling servlet, you can add a DataSource object and push in the states values here.
