The SharePoint columns are displayed in the designer when you open it. If you want to delete them from or add them to your form, you can do so under the SharePoint Columns controls.

You can include commas in the options, if required (for example, Melbourne, Victoria can be one option). You can also include pipes/vertical bars "\|" to define the options and their values (for example, Choice 1 \| 1234 can be one option where Choice 1 is the option's label and 1234 is the option's value). You can also add Rules to create business logic to pre-select options based on the option's value.
