Ok Dan, I figured out what the confusion is (and this will be a recurring thing that you want to avoid from happening over & over)

I’ll just show an example once, as all my other posts are probably the same.

This is the code for textarea & this snippet is all you should show in the docs along with this text:  
_Place this control code inside of the main ‘properties’ array which is inside of groups, see Grouping Controls_

```auto
{
  "title": "TextArea:",
  "property": "textarea",
  "textArea": {
    "default": "Hello World",
    "subtitle": "Subtitle"
  }
}

```
