The standard properties apply:

Property	Definition
`Type`	The type of item (see above).
`Name`	The name of the item is not visible. It is a “variable” name that will be associated to the data collected. You will refer to this variable name when writing condition and/or validation scripts.
`Label`	The label is usually a question or a title.
`Description`	The description gives some guidance about how to enter data, what are their meaning etc.
`Required`	Whether an input is mandatory. Note that this does not apply when the visibility `Condition` is not satisfied.

The following dynamic properties apply:

Property	Definition
`Condition`	The condition makes an item visible or not, depending of other data. It is a small script which returns a logical value: `true` when item is visible. When no condition is specified (which is the default), the item is visible. See How to make fields conditional?
`Validation`	The validation specifies whether the data entry is correct. It is a small script which returns a logical value: `true` when item value is valid. Note that this validation script is not evaluated when the visibility `Condition` is not satisfied. See How to validate field values?
`Validation error message`	The validation error message to be displayed when validation fails.

Property	Definition

`Hint`	Help text below the input field.
`Default`	The default value. Make sure it is in the right format.
