What goes into the 'Values' property when selecting Radio Button in Activity Layout?

I can’t find any documentation about how to format the values for Radio Button (and Autocomplete, and Dropdown):

Hi @postwick,

I am assuming you are building a library and want to customize the activity.

The newer versions allow for Radio Button etc. Documentation is quite bleak but may be it can give you some ideas. Studio - About Libraries (uipath.com)

From docs
String - Use Default, Text Composer (default), Rich Text Composer, Dropdown, Autocomplete, Radio Button. For Dropdown, Autocomplete, and Radio Button, in the Values field, input each separate value by pressing Enter on your keyboard.

Behaviour is much like the Tags field in Studio or Orchestrator the user has to type the options and then press enter.

The limitation currently when you make these customizations are we have to hard code them when creating your library/activity layout. I assume it can be a lot of work when we have to do this manually. i.e. add for example multiple dropdowns of choices (“P”+Enter and “T”+Enter). Clearly there is a potential here to streamline this input (by using variables within the library and passing them into the Activity Properties).

I tried other combinations but seems like “Tags” like behaviour is what they went with.
