- **UI:** if `fields` is specified, field containing a repeatable child widget, with controls for adding, deleting, and re-ordering the repeated widgets; if unspecified, a text input for entering comma-separated values
- **Data type:** list of widget values
- **Options:**
  - `default`: if `fields` is specified, declare defaults on the child widgets; if not, you may specify a list of strings to populate the text field
  - `allow_add`: if added and labeled `false`, button to add additional widgets disapears
  - `field`: a single widget field to be repeated
  - `fields`: a nested list of multiple widget fields to be included in each repeatable iteration

  ```yaml
  - label: 'Tags'
    name: 'tags'
    widget: 'list'
    default: ['news']
