Hook

The default hook of a custom field is after. This means that the fields will be placed after the standard fields in the backend form of the entity. Sometimes you might want to place your custom fields before the standard fields. If you have a team entity, it makes sense to place the firstname and middlename fields before the standard title field (which can be used for the last name field).

List

The list option kan be selected if yuou want to show a specific field in the index list of the entity in the backend. In the team example it would make sense to show the firstname and middlename fields in the list.

State options

Every field can have 4 different states:

• always enabled

• enabled if

• hidden

• disabled

With the enabled if option you can define a condition, which can check for specific value of another field. This means that you can show/hide fields depending on the value of another field. A good example is the geolocation field, which consists of several fields (addres, city, country, latitude, longitude, etc) and a booloean toggle field.
