Slider
You can set step to adjust the slider increment value.

    },
    "name": "Rate",
    "label": "How would you rate this book?",
    "required": false
}
Grouped Attributes
You can create questions nested within other questions. This example creates two sub text fields (ex: Age and Sub-genre) inside a question (ex: Type). For now we only limit nested questions to two levels of depth.
{
    "type": "NESTED",
    "config": {
        "multiple": true,
        "questions": [
            {
                "type": "TEXT",
                "config": {
                    "multiline": false
                },
                "name": "Age",
                "label": "Age",
                "required": true
            },
            {
                "type": "TEXT",
                "config": {
                    "multiline": false
                },
                "name": "Sub-genre",
                "label": "Sub-genre",
                "required": true
            }
        ]
    },
    "name": "Type",
    "label": "Type",
    "required": true
}
