What problem does it solve?
Fields define how data is stored, validated, and displayed across Steedos objects, and configuring them through .field.yml files for each field can be error-prone without a clear guide. This skill consolidates material on all Steedos field types and the .field.yml configuration, including how to model relationships and computed fields, and how to drive UI behavior with Amis schema. The guidance covers fields living in objects/{name}/fields/.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Defines fields as individual .field.yml files under objects/{name}/fields/ and documents essential properties like name, type, label, required, index, searchable, filterable, sortable, and group.
- Covers valid field types (text, number, currency, select, lookup, master_detail, formula, summary, file, image, location, etc.) and illustrates common configurations for relationships and computed fields.
- Provides practical examples and best practices to tailor field behavior, validation, defaults, and UI customization for Steedos apps.
Quick Start
Create or edit a field YAML file under objects/{name}/fields/ to define a new field using the provided examples.
