The first section when configuring a choice is the main details, this holds all of the primary information for the choice and its behaviour when ordering.
There are three options when adding a new choice:

Select an existing choice and click Add, this will automatically pre-fill the subcategory and portions within the choice
-
Click add without selecting an existing choice, this will leave all fields blank
-
Select an existing choice and click Clone, this will copy all details from the previous choice
When adding choices from the All Items view:
-
Selecting an existing choice will update the Add button to show "Add Choice"
-
Selecting no item will default the Add button to a drop down list where an empty choice can be added
