Input
=====

:php:`type='input'` generates a html :html:`<input>` field with the :html:`type`
attribute set to :html:`text`. It is possible to apply additional features such
as the :ref:`valuePicker <columns-input-properties-valuePicker>`.

In the database, this field is typically set to a `VARCHAR` or `CHAR` field with
appropriate length.
