The following common properties cannot be used in complex fields:

• type
• required
• requiredErrorMessage
• conversionErrorMessage
• readOnly
• defaultValue
• validators
• converterClass
• factoryClass
• fieldBinderClass

We can add "not used in composite, multi and switchable fields" to each of the above properties or add another column to the common field properties table to list all applicable/non-applicable fields for each property. A better approach would be to create a separate common complex field properties table to list all common composite, multi and switchable field properties.

 For better visibility, consider adding common field properties as an includable to every field page below the field-specific properties.

Common simple field properties

https://git.magnolia-cms.com/projects/PLATFORM/repos/ui/browse/magnolia-ui-framework/src/main/java/info/magnolia/ui/field/ConfiguredFieldDefinition.java

• name
• class
• $type
• label
• description
• i18n
• styleName
• type
• required
• requiredErrorMessage
• conversionErrorMessage
• readOnly
• defaultValue
• validators
• converterClass
• factoryClass
• fieldBinderClass

Since placeholder can only be used in combobox and text fields, it should not be listed as a common field property. Instead, add placeholder to combobox and text fields as a field-specific property.
