Toggle button

A toggle button allows the user to choose one from two predefined options.

To define a toggle button, set Type to "togglebutton", and provide a discrete list with the two available options.

Note

A toggle button is typically preferred over a drop-down list containing two entries when it is clear what the second entry will be from reading the first entry (e.g. On/Off, Enabled/Disabled, etc.).
