Adding Field Type Values to Field Types

Field Type Values delineate the specific subsets of Field Types owned by applications, providing granular distinctions within a broader category and enhancing the application's ability to manage and utilize data effectively. For example, in a commerce application, a field type for "Hardware Products" might include specific values such as "Lawn Care," "Appliances," and "Tools." These values help streamline data input, improve searchability, and ensure that permissions can be accurately assigned based on specific data subsets.

This article guides you through the process of adding Field Type Values to Field Types, providing a structured approach to enhance data management within your application.
