Manage custom field templates

Custom field templates allow for repeatable sets of attributes to be available when editing objects in your marketplace. Attributes added to custom field templates appear as an option for data entry when creating an object related to the custom field template.

For instance, you can add a Preferred Genres custom field to the USER template so that it becomes available as a selectable option when creating or adding a customer.
