Configurable table that can hold all extra fields without customization
Can there be some sort of table structure that store records of extra field definitions without needing to add a new field via customization? Then the reports can also look for these extra fields? That way administrators can quickly create new fields for a table.

I'm noticing a lot have to do with site data, department data, room data, employee data. Those are often due to integration with HR feeds and a need to run highlights on new room based data. Then there's service requests / maintenance requests (ie especially in the public sectors where they track a customer data who is not in the requestor table) so just no place naturally to put that data.

Thank you very much for this idea. I would like to get more details on this idea.
Is there a particular table your customers would need to extend (ex. rooms, equipment)?
Can you give me some example on when this would be used instead of using the existing Add Field functionality?
