### __init__(self, name=None, values=None, field_type=None, label=None, options=None, required=False, desc=None, value=None) (Constructor) | source code
Initialize a Field object. Parameters: `name` (: `unicode`) - : field name. `values` (: `list` of `unicode`) - : raw field values. Not to be used together with value. `field_type` (: `str`) - : field type. `label` (: `unicode`) - : field label. `options` (: `list` of Option) - : optional values for the field. `required` (: `bool`) - : `True` if the field is required. `desc` (: `unicode`) - : natural-language description of the field. `value` (: `bool` for "boolean" field, JID for "jid-single", `list` of JID for "jid-multi", `list` of `unicode` for "list-multi" and "text-multi" and `unicode` for other field types.) - : field value or values in a field_type-specific type. May be used only if values parameter is not provided. Overrides: object.__init__

### __setattr__(self, name, value) | source code
x.__setattr__('name', value) <==> x.name = value Overrides: object.__setattr__ (inherited documentation)

### add_option(self, value, label) | source code
Add an option for the field. Parameters: `value` (: `list` of `unicode`) - : option values. `label` (: `unicode`) - : option label (human-readable description).

### complete_xml_element(self, xmlnode, doc) | source code
Complete the XML node with `self` content. Parameters: `xmlnode` (: `libxml2.xmlNode`) - : XML node with the element being built. It has already right name and namespace, but no attributes or content. `doc` (: `libxml2.xmlDoc`) - : document to which the element belongs. Overrides: objects.StanzaPayloadObject.complete_xml_element

### _new_from_xml(cls, xmlnode) Class Method | source code
Create a new Field object from an XML element. Parameters: `xmlnode` (: `libxml2.xmlNode`) - : the XML element. Returns: Field the object created.
