Field Editor

The Field Editor allows users to create and manage fields for entities directly from the UI. Users can define the Field Name, Display Name, and Data Type. Additional options such as making the field required, setting default values, or handling complex field types like OptionSets and Lookups can also be configured without the need to interact with the backend. Everything is handled dynamically by the system.
