UIControl Field Matrix (Implemented)
This matrix reflects what the current front-end renderer actually uses from UIControl metadata in:
static/corticon-forms-example/clientSideComponent/dynForm/uiControlsRenderers.jsstatic/corticon-forms-example/clientSideComponent/dynForm/stepsController.js(for validation impact)
If a field is not listed here for a control type, it is not currently influencing rendering behavior.
Cross-Cutting Fields
These are renderer features that apply broadly across controls:
| Field | Implemented behavior |
|---|---|
id | Used for DOM IDs, labels, and conditional-visibility wiring. |
label | Rendered via appendLabel(...). |
labelPosition | Controls 'Above' vs 'Side' label placement. |
tooltip | Rendered in label info bubble; many controls also use it as input title. |
triggeredByControlWithId + triggeredWhenSelection | Hides/shows controls conditionally. |
validationErrorMsg | Decision-service validation message shown under the control (for controls that call addValidationMsgFromDecisionService). |
required | Adds required marker and, for input controls, enables client-side required validation. |
Per-Type Matrix
Legend: Y = implemented for this type, N = not implemented for this type.

MultipleChoices vs Radio (Choices Definition)
Both controls use the same static option object shape:
Option.new [value='email', displayName='Email']
But behavior differs:
Radiocurrently uses only staticoption[](nodataSourcesupport).MultipleChoicessupports both staticoption[]and dynamicdataSource(+dataSourceOptionsmapping).MultipleChoicesMultiSelectsupports multiple selected values;Radiois single-select only.
