field

A caption paired with its value, stacked vertically or set side by side, each with its own size, weight and colour.

When to reach for it​

Against a plain text element containing Label: {{token}}, the deciding factor is styling: field styles the caption and the value independently and can switch between stacked and inline, whereas a text element gives you one style for the whole run.

Worth knowing

There is no field picker property — the value is an ordinary string that binds only through a {{token}} you put in it, and it starts empty, so a new field shows its caption and nothing else.
