Option Description
Columns For the data grid element only.
Provide the label, ID, and value type for each column in your
table.
The default value for the data grid must include the header data
that matches the defined columns. For example, if you have
user_name ID for one column and user_role ID for another, then
the first row is user_name,user_role.
For configuration examples, see Using the Data Grid Element in
the Custom Forms Designer.

fields.
