Overall I think the documention is organized and presented well, I have two small complaints.
1. The basic fields are explained well enough because the concept is pretty simple. But the explanation of things like table joins and input limiting need a more complete example showing actual input and output.
2. The example code is confusing because it mixes metaphors. All through the code examples you see this:
| Code: |
$opts['fdd']['col_name']['values']['table']
|
Here it is not clear what is a keyword and what is to be substituted in the actual code. It would be clearer if it were shown something like this:
| Code: |
$opts['fdd']['<col_name>']['values']['table']
|
This at least gives a hint the col_name is not a keyword like 'fdd' and 'values' but is where you put in your table's column name. The underscore may have been intended to convey this but does not.
I think sometimes a new user can see things that aren't obvious to the authors.

To use
['col_name']
it was Doug's idea and I liked it. I believe it is somewhere at the beginning of the field's options documentation written, that
['col_name']
should be substitued with actual column name.
However I agree, that in the example above if usage of
['colname']
quite confusing. I will consult this issue with Doug and we will try to improve it somehow.
Thank you for reporting.
