By default, the received value is shown below the widget button. In some cases, the raw received value is not helpful to display. For example, it may be very long or may represent a list of values. In that case, you can use the ``hidden-answer`` appearance. We generally recommend putting this question in a :ref:`field-list <field-list>` to provide some useful feedback about the received value.
