The data editor now lets you add custom attributes to data classes. If, for example, you have a “Current user” data class that requires an attribute not specified in the editing configuration of this class, e.g., “email”, you can add it directly by simply clicking “Add custom attribute” in the properties of the widget concerned. Being able to conveniently integrate the required attributes makes it a lot easier to tailor the data items of a data class to specific needs.
