Notes:

'checkbox' is an alias for 'toggle' - both render the same component.
'checked' is an alias for 'default' on toggle/checkbox types.
For 'date' type fields, min, max, and default values must match the specified format.
For 'date-range' type fields, default can be used to set a default date range default = { "01/01/2025", "01/07/2025" }.
