Subfield formatters

Every subfield in a Custom Field has its own configurable formatter — controlling how that subfield's value is displayed when the entity is rendered. Some subfield types offer more than one formatter to choose from (for example, a link subfield can render as a plain link, custom link text, or via Linkit), and the available formatter is configured per subfield in the field's display settings.
