Label Position labelPosition Text Determines where the label appears. Valid values: "ABOVE" (default) Displays the label above the component. "ADJACENT" Displays the label to the left of the component. "COLLAPSED" Hides the label. The label will still be read by screen readers; see accessibility considerations for more information. "JUSTIFIED" Aligns the label alongside the component starting at the edge of the page. Instructions instructions Text Supplemental text about this field. Help Tooltip helpTooltip Text Displays a help icon with the specified text as a tooltip. The tooltip displays a maximum of 500 characters.

Used only for accessibility; produces no visible change. Size size Text Determines the size of the tags. Valid values: "SMALL", "STANDARD" (default). Visibility showWhen Boolean Determines whether the component is displayed on the interface. When set to false, the component is hidden and is not evaluated. Default: true. Margin Above marginAbove Text Determines how much space is added above the layout. Valid values: "NONE" (default), "EVEN_LESS", "LESS", "STANDARD", "MORE", "EVEN_MORE". Margin Below marginBelow Text Determines how much space is added below the layout. Valid values: "NONE", "EVEN_LESS", "LESS", "STANDARD" (default), "MORE", "EVEN_MORE". Usage considerations Using the tag parameter with text values If the tags parameter is null, contains an empty array, or only contains tag items with no text value, then the label and instructions render with no tags displayed. If multiple tags are displayed in a narrow container, tags can wrap onto multiple lines. An individual tag will never be split onto two lines.
