Field Name
SECTION(Alpha 2)
Description
How to visualize a field as an ReusablePart on a form.
There are times when you may wish to provide a field as a list of options but the built in PicklistList is not flexible enough for your case. One example of this is where you may want a section field to display a list of sections from a database.
