Class FieldMetadataInfo
This carrier describes a custom field to be added to the config dialog at runtime. It is used to populate the Admin configuration dialog for a connection. Note that this is just a description of the field - it is not the field itself. The GUI will use this info to build the user interface controls. The call to the ERP Connector’s GetConfigurationFields method returns a list of fields and field types. The Admin client builds a dialog with these fields.

DefaultValue
A default value for the field. The value in the widget when the configure dialog is opened in Add Connection mode. This will vary a bit depending on the type, of course. Obviously, if the field is a label, text or password, then the text is used. If the field is an int or double, we shall try to convert the string into a number. (If the conversion fails, we shall use zero or 0.00 as the default value.) If the field is a list, we shall try to find a list item where the fields default value matches the listsitem’s ERPQuoteListItemKey.
