Pattern Decisions This Source Supports
| Pattern | Supported decision | Required contract | Claim note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Checkbox group | Choose checkboxes for short independent multi-choice sets where every option can remain visible. | Each option toggles independently without unchecking other selected options. | GOV.UK checkbox guidance supports one-or-more selections, fieldset/legend grouping, select-all-that-apply hints, errors, and independent checked values. |
| Conditional reveal fields | Choose conditional reveal fields when one option needs a short, directly related follow-up field in the same local context. | Selecting the trigger shows the related field immediately under that trigger. | GOV.UK checkbox guidance supports conditional content revealed when a checkbox is checked, including related contact detail fields. |
