List: list created in the app is selected and linked to this field.
Type: select the field type.
Editable field: Indicates that the field will appear in the action settings. If there is no check mark, the field does not participate in the settings, but you can save the value of the variable in the Response tab. In other words it is a “response field”.
Required field: Albato cannot save the step setting and start the bundle if this field is empty.
Any created field is available for editing by clicking on pencil icon:

Filling in the field, you can specify several values and separate them with a comma, by creating one field that will be mapped to tags with the StringArray type. Then an array of elements will be formed and transferred in the HTTP request.
