Important notes​

There are 2 types of custom fields you can see: protected and unprotected fields. Besides prebuilt fields, you can create many other fields according to your needs.

warning
  • Protected fields have a lock icon, and you shouldn't try to modify their field names and field types (in code files), you can just edit their field labels and adjust other options.
  • You can delete unprotected fields, but protected fields shouldn't be deleted.
