# User Option
The user option block allows for any user to be selected from the server and used later in the commands actions. User IDs may also be used.
You can retrieve the variable of the option via the **Clipboard** or the block itself. The format of the variable is `{option_optionname}`, where `optionname` is the [name](#option-name) of the option.
Additionally, user option variables can be combined with other variables to target the user selected in the option. `{}` brackets must be excluded from the option when used as a target, like in the example below:
❌ Wrong
☑️ Correct
{user_name[{option_user}]}
{user_name[option_user]}
{BGVAR_money[{option_user}]}
{BGVAR_money[option_user]}
## Option Name
This field requires an input for your unique option name. The designated name will then be the reference for your option variable.
## Option Description
The option description field allows you to assign a custom description to your option. It is useful to describe what the option is used for.
## Set Required
With this switch you are able to toggle if the option should be required or not in order to execute the command.
