accessibleDescribedBy accessible-described-by Indicates the id of a component that describes the input. string undefined
accessibleLiveError accessible-live-error The aria-live attribute for the error message. When the input is validated on blur, use "off", as using "polite" or "assertive" makes the screen reader read the error message twice. When the input is validated on submit, use "polite", as "off" would leave the messages unread by screen readers. Use "assertive" only in those rare cases when "polite" would leave the error message unread by screen readers. "assertive" | "off" | "polite" "polite"
allControls all-controls If set, the multiselect will display buttons to select or deselect all items. This should be used when there are many items, consider when the number of items is more than 5. boolean false
