Description

Custom fields are quite complicated, however they're very important to a lot of users, so we need to support them eventually.

FW Help

Model:

  • develop a model for custom field definitions
  • develop a data model for custom field data on Entry, Sense, Example sentence
  • develop a generic model for custom lists

Api:

  • develop api for interacting with custom fields, list fields, create new, delete etc
  • develop api for listing all/custom lists and for interacting with them, CRUD

Ui:

  • UI in FW Lite for showing custom fields (not editing field definitions) and editing data

notes:

  • FW Help suggests a limit of 100 custom fields, I suggest we enforce that
