   • One—Only one instance of this field appears in the content edit form.
   • Many—Editors can click add_circle_outline to add multiple instances of this field in the content edit form.
   • Many (Sortable)—Editors can click add_circle_outline to add multiple instances of this field in the content edit form, and can re-order those fields by dragging low_priority.
5. Under Items, click add_circle_outline, and select one of the field types.
6. Complete the form for the selected field type.
7. Repeat steps 5–6 to add additional fields.
8. Under Advanced, do the following:
   
   1. In the Note field, enter a short explanatory note that appears in the content edit form.
   2. Toggle on Required to make this a required field.
