Some fields, such as Object ID, Description, Revision, ..., are fixed. Others can be attached/detached to the type tree.
Data fields are always inherited to subtypes. For example, if you connect an attribute to the Items type, it will be used in all its subtypes.
Additional fields can be created. The following field types are supported:
- String - Single line text
- TextArea - Multiline text
- List - Menu with selections
- Decimal - Decimal value
- Integer - Integer value
- URL - Clickable URL link
- Querylist - Object based list (E.g. Name dictionary)
