Choices

The Choices tag is used to create a group of choices, with radio buttons or checkboxes. It can be used for single or multi-class classification. Also, it is used for advanced classification tasks where annotators can choose one or multiple answers.

Choices can have dynamic value to load labels from task. This task data should contain a list of options to create underlying s. All the parameters from options will be transferred to corresponding tags.

The Choices tag can be used with any data types.
