| ID                 | Use a stable, meaningful internal identifier.  | Avoid renaming once the field is used in filters, reports, or templates.                               |
| Label              | Use clear user-facing wording.                 | For example: _Target space_, _Owning team space_, or _Destination_.                                    |
| Required           | Enable only when a space must be selected.     | If enabled, the form cannot be submitted without at least one space selected.                          |
| Multiple selection | Enable when more than one space can be chosen. | Use when content or approvals can span several spaces. Leave disabled when a single space is expected. |
