The field element can have a couple of attributes, including a mandatory attribute type. The type attribute specifies the field type, which can be text, options, text-area, date, checkbox, option-textThe option-text field contains a drop-down list with a text field.

Note

All the above field input types except the option-text are directly mapped to HTML input types. The option-text field type is a registry specific field type, which is supported to provide backward compatibility, where it is recommended  to use unbounded tables instead of the option-text fields.

Some types of fields can have optional attributes. A text-area field accepts height and width as optional attributes. The height and width attributes should be numerical and their values should be in pixels. The text field accepts url as an optional attribute. Setting url="true" displays the text as a URL instead of as a plain text box.
