Field creation steps

- - Name the field, which also generates a unique field key for connecting custom fields.
  - Choose the data type (text, integer, decimal, select, toggle, or date).
  - Depending on the type, additional options appear:

- - - Text: Options for required fields, placeholders, text visualization, and maximum length.
    - Integer/Decimal: Set placeholders, minimum, and maximum values.
    - Select: Attach a pre-prepared codelist, required fields, and placeholders.
    - Toggle: Add a description.
    - Date: Options for required fields and placeholders.

- External Providers: For integration with external sources like Bisnode or Pantheon, establish a connection using a provider key.
- Default Connection: This feature allows filling a custom field with data from another custom field. Set up an original custom field, enable the default connection, and define the path to the original field.
