Voyager IIFormfields
Formfields are the heart of every layout.
They display, parse and handle incoming data and input.
Common options

Here you select which column this formfield consumes.
This can be table columns, accessor, relationship properties or relationship methods. Please be aware that (most of the time) the column is necessary.
When saving the BREAD with a formfield that does not have a column assigned, a warning will be shown.

Please note that some formfields, like the relationship formfield, can not be translated.In this case the checkbox is not shown.
