Subfield widgets

Every subfield in a Custom Field has its own configurable widget — the form element used to collect that subfield's value when editing content. Some subfield types offer more than one widget to choose from (for example, an entity reference subfield can use autocomplete, radios, a select list, and more), and the available widget is configured per subfield in the field's settings.
