5. Enter a name for the field.
   The name of the field is different from its label. The name of the field serves as reference for that field in the backend.

   The default widgets are Radio buttons or Dropdown list. If you have selected Multiple choices can be selected checkbox, the default widget is Checkboxes. All widgets display a list of choices with labels and instructions.
