'dynamic fields' for any model.
Reported by Nathan B | September 21st, 2011 @ 09:49 AM
Summary (what & why)
Allow models such as Contact, Account, Lead, etc. to have
dynamic fields added via an admin interface.
These would include validations and field types. Future plans would
include filtering and searching.
What are the details?
For example, instead of writing database migrations and hacking view templates to add a new field, any administrator could do this quickly via the admin interface.
We have written a 'supertags' plugin that could do with some refactoring, and a lot of that code could possibly be moved into core fat free crm. Our supertags plugin contains the concept of 'custom fields', and while the database backend needs to re-written, a lot of the front-end code could be re-usable.
We would use a table called 'dynamic_fields' to store custom fields for classes, and a polymorphic 'DynamicFieldValue' model to store values for those fields. 'parent_type' could be a standard model (Contact, Account, etc.) or even a special class such as Tag, which would replace the supertag functionality.

- State changed from “new” to “resolved”
This has been done, and you can find the interface on the admin screen under 'Custom fields'.

When you’re working with a model, make sure you understand its dynamic fields. A model’s dynamic fields are the things that they do well, and how they perform. I am getting ideas from https://www.essaywritinglab.co.uk/assignment/ to solve quality work easily. You want to make sure that you know what those dynamic fields are and that you’ve got the people to help you build those dynamic fields.
