question template custom attributes buttongroup and singleselect was created by aellison9
I have a custom question template where I am trying to capture custom attributes in the admin console when editing the question. It is very straight forward to add switch, integer, and text input types within the config.xml.

I cannot find examples or documentation on using buttongroup and singleselect which require an <options> list.

Here is the custom attribute section of my config.xml
Code:
    <custom_attributes>
        <!-- Provide an options under Slider to impact setup -->
        <attribute>
            <name>slider_min</name>
            <category>Slider</category>
            <sortorder>1</sortorder>
            <inputtype>integer</inputtype>
            <default>1</default>
            <help>Minumum value for the slider</help>
            <caption>Slider Minumum</caption>
        </attribute>
        <attribute>
            <name>slider_showminmax</name>
            <category>Slider</category>
            <sortorder>2</sortorder>
            <inputtype>switch</inputtype>
            <default>0</default>
            <help>Show Slider Min and Max below Slider</help>
            <caption>Display Slider Min and Max</caption>
        </attribute>
        <attribute>
            <name>slider_orientation</name>
            <category>Slider</category>
            <sortorder>3</sortorder>
            <inputtype>buttongroup</inputtype>
            <options>0='Horizontal'</options>
            <default>0</default>
            <help>Set the slider to slide vertically or horizontally</help>
            <caption>Set the orientation of the slider</caption>
        </attribute>
    </custom_attributes>

You can see in the last attribute where I am trying to define the "options" for the buttongroup. I've also tried nesting the "options" within the <inputtype> tags with no luck either.

I will also point out that if the syntax is incorrect, it will break the ability to see the options to set question attributes in the admin console. Also, with the "options' left blank, the caption will show for the attribute but no buttons are displayed. Screenshots below.

Config Info:
$config = '3.13.2';
$config = 353;
$config = '180709';
$config = true;
$config = '30049';

I would welcome any insight, advice or examples available to get this moving forward.

Thanks.

Found an example or two buried in the code base. Here is a snippet of a working buttongroup and singleselect in case anyone else stumbles upon this question.
Code:
    <custom_attributes>
        <!-- Provide an options under Slider to impact setup -->
        <attribute>
            <name>slider_min</name>
            <category>Slider</category>
            <sortorder>1</sortorder>
            <inputtype>integer</inputtype>
            <default>1</default>
            <help>Minumum value for the slider</help>
            <caption>Slider Minumum</caption>
        </attribute>
        <attribute>
            <name>slider_showminmax</name>
            <category>Slider</category>
            <sortorder>2</sortorder>
            <inputtype>switch</inputtype>
            <default>0</default>
            <help>Show Slider Min and Max below Slider</help>
            <caption>Display Slider Min and Max</caption>
        </attribute>
        <attribute>
            <name>slider_orientation</name>
            <category>Slider</category>
            <sortorder>3</sortorder>
            <inputtype>buttongroup</inputtype>
            <options>

            <help>Set the slider to slide vertically or horizontally</help>
            <caption>Set the orientation of the slider</caption>
        </attribute>
    </custom_attributes>
