Value can be one of the following:
auto,checkbox,switch,code,color,datetime,date,time,file,document,image,number,range,object,array,select,multiselect,choice,multichoice,text,textarea,email,html,markdown, orurl.If the type or value of an Input is misconfigured, CloudCannon will display an orange warning instead of an Input.
