   :type: integer
   :Scope: Display
   :Types: :ref:`group <columns-group>`

   Height of the box in FormEngine.

   With `type='select'` and `renderType='selectSingle'`, the default is `1`, but if set to a number greater than 1,
   the select drop down will be displayed as box where only one item can be selected.

   With `type='select'` and `renderType='selectSingleBox'`, this value should not be set to a number smaller than 2.

   With `type='group'` or `type='folder'`, the "box" collapses to a single element input and should then be combined with a
   :ref:`maxitems=1 <columns-group-properties-maxitems>`, the default is `5`.
