List key|label entry field is textarea, which doesn't give guidance towards the expected input

Problem/Motivation

During the usability sessions, some participants struggled to figure out how to add multiple key|label values. Some didn't understand the relationship between the key and the label.

In good form design, we use the correct input types to provide guidance towards the expected input, a large freetext area is not intuitive and requires a lot of help text to understand.

Proposed resolution

Replace the text area with multiple inputs, automatically creating the value based on the machine name UI component.
