• default (optional) (translatable) is the default value.
• class (optional) is a CSS class name for the HTML form field. If omitted this will default to 'text_area'.
• first (mandatory) this value is the lowest on the list.
• last (mandatory) this value is the highest on the list.
• step (mandatory) each option will be the previous option incremented by this integer, starting with the first value until the last value is reached.
