Doctype Field Master
DocField Master
DocField Master is to have master definitions and is a controlled version of Data Element. It outlines the metadata(properties) that define on Doctype Field and can be used to standardize field-level properties for reference across other DocTypes.
Creating new DocField Master
Module: A "module" refers to the categorization or grouping under which this new field will be organized.
Doctype Element: A 'DocType Element' is a table consisting of:
- Field Property: containing the metadata (properties) of the field.
- Field Value: holding the actual value of the field.
-
Immutable: its for enforcing a field to be not changeable.
Example
If you set a length of 20 and make a field immutable, anyone consuming your master data cannot change the value of the length for this field.
Note: 'fieldname' and 'fieldtype' are required field_property
After creation, a new DocField Master is initially in a pending state. Once approved, it becomes ready for use.
