Changes can be rendered either in-line or for the whole block, and inputs can be focused with keyboard navigation. The component has three functional states: the "view" state, where the component displays its initial setting, such as "click to edit"; the "edit" state, where the user can select a value from a drop-down list; and the "changed" state, where the new value for the component has been confirmed but can be edited again if required. </para> + <para> + When in the initial "view" state, the starting label can be set using the <code>defaultLabel</code> attribute, such as <code>defaultLabel="click to edit"</code>. + </para> + <para> + Basic usage requires the <code>value</code> attribute to point to the expression for the current value of the component and a list of items.
