    2. You have the ability to add other attributes to modify (visually and otherwise) the data type in the "Other Attributes" section
      1. To add a label after the field, type "extra" in the Key column and " Your Text Here" in the Value column
        1. Note: The "&nbsp" portion adds a space between the field and the text, just putting a space ahead of the text will not work
