Connection field creation

This entity is optional. It allows you to create additional fields that will be requested from the user when creating a connection to the application, which in any way are not related to the authorization.

For example, this can be a request from a user of his domain, since the domain will participate in all subsequent requests, including authorization, such a field is stored in a separate place and is available for all application request widgets.

To request such static data as an API key, which is not even updated, use the authorization entity.
