User & Audit Fields

Four field types reference users from the authentication system. Three are auto-populated audit fields tracking who created, updated, or deleted a record; one is an editable user reference. All require auth to be configured and share the base field properties.

user

An editable reference to one or more users (e.g. an assignee).

- { id: 1, name: assigned_to, type: user, required: true, allowMultiple: false }

System Audit Fields

created-by, updated-by, and deleted-by are system-managed — their values are set automatically and cannot be edited manually. They store a user-id reference and take no type-specific properties beyond the base field properties (commonly indexed: true).

fields:
  - { id: 2, name: created_by, type: created-by, indexed: true }
  - { id: 3, name: updated_by, type: updated-by, indexed: true }
  - { id: 4, name: deleted_by, type: deleted-by, indexed: true }
