Fields
A Field can be thought of as a subcomponent within a layer. It encapsulates a single piece of data or a specific input/output element. Multiple "Fields" can coexist within a single "Layer," each contributing its unique properties to the layer's overall functionality.

After creating a layer, you will notice an input field with a hint "Input new field name" next to the layer name. Simply enter the desired name for the field, ensuring that it consists of letters, numbers, and/or underscores ('_'). Then, click the button to create the new field.
