2 <title>Available data types</title>
7 <entry>Description</entry>
13 <entry>Holds any arbitrary string of data.</entry>
16 <entry>boolean</entry>
18 Holds "<literal>true</literal>" or "<literal>false</literal>".
24 Holds one of a finite number of possible values. These
25 values must be specified in a field named
26 <literal>Choices:</literal>. Separate the possible values
27 with commas and spaces, like this:
29 Choices: yes, no, maybe
34 <entry>multiselect</entry>
36 Just like the select data type, except the user can choose any
37 number of items from the list. This means that the
38 <literal>Default:</literal> field and the actual value of the
39 question may be a comma and space delimited list of values,
40 just like the <literal>Choices:</literal> field.
46 This template is a note that can be displayed to the user. As
47 opposed to text, it is something important, that the user really
48 should see. If it is not possible to display it, it might be
49 saved to a log file or mailbox for them to see later.
55 This template is a scrap of text that can be displayed to
56 the user. It's intended to be used for mostly cosmetic
57 reasons, touching up around other questions that are asked
58 at the same time. Unlike a note, it isn't treated as
59 something the user should definitely see. Less complex frontends
60 may refuse to ever display this type of element.
64 <entry>password</entry>
66 Holds a password. Use with caution. Be aware that the password
67 the user enters will be written to a database. You
68 should consider clearing that value out of the database as soon
75 Holds a (short) string that can be displayed using the SETTITLE
76 command. Only the value of the short description will be used.
