isRequired	`boolean`
Whether user input is required on the input before form submission.

aria-describedby	`string`
Identifies the element (or elements) that describes the object.
aria-details	`string`
Identifies the element (or elements) that provide a detailed, extended description for the object.
aria-errormessage	`string`
Identifies the element that provides an error message for the object.
aria-label	`string`

Name	Type	Default
autoFocus	`boolean`
Whether the element should receive focus on render.
dir	`string`
excludeFromTabOrder	`boolean`
Whether to exclude the element from the sequential tab order. If true, the element will not be focusable via the keyboard by tabbing. This should be avoided except in rare scenarios where an alternative means of accessing the element or its functionality via the keyboard is available.
hidden	`boolean`
inert	`boolean`
lang	`string`
ref	`Ref<HTMLLabelElement>`
Requires React 19
render	`DOMRenderFunction<"div", CheckboxFieldRenderProps>`
Overrides the default DOM element with a custom render function. This allows rendering existing components with built-in styles and behaviors such as router links, animation libraries, and pre-styled components. Requirements: You must render the expected element type (e.g. if `<button>` is expected, you cannot render an `<a>`). Only a single root DOM element can be rendered (no fragments). You must pass through props and ref to the underlying DOM element, merging with your own prop as appropriate.
slot	`string \| null`
A slot name for the component. Slots allow the component to receive props from a parent component. An explicit `null` value indicates that the local props completely override all props received from a parent.
suppressHydrationWarning	`boolean`
A React-only flag that suppresses the warning React normally logs when an element's server-rendered content doesn't match the client render during hydration. See React docs (opens in new tab).
translate	`"no" \| "yes"`
