Recipients

Recipients is the routing field that can render as standard choice inputs.

Use this page as the reference for the display variants the field can render as: dropdown, multi-dropdown, checkboxes, and radio buttons.

Attributes

Recipients keeps its own field identity, but the rendered control inherits the attributes of the chosen display type:

Attribute	Purpose	Importance
data-formie-field-type="recipients"	Field identity marker on the outer wrapper	Required
data-formie-input and data-formie-input-id	Shared input identity hooks from the rendered choice control	Required
<select> / data-formie-checkbox-input / data-formie-radio-input	Control-level hooks inherited from the selected display type	Required
Hidden empty input for checkbox display	Preserves empty-state submission behavior	Recommended for checkbox display

Display types

Recipients can render as:

• a single-select dropdown
• a multi-select dropdown
• a checkbox group
• a radio group

The backend decides which display type is rendered, but the browser layer uses the same attributes as the corresponding choice field.
