This repository serves as a centralized system for maintaining, updating, and distributing these field types throughout the JCB ecosystem.\n
+\n
+When you need to update any field type in JCB, simply select the desired field type and click the "reset" button. This action will automatically sync the selected field type with its corresponding version hosted in our core repository, ensuring you always have the latest updates.\n
+\n
+Moreover, if you wish to tailor the field types to your specific needs, you can fork the repository and point your JCB instance to your fork. This allows you to maintain and update field types independently from the main JCB community, offering the flexibility that is at the heart of open-source philosophy.\n
+\n
+We believe this approach empowers you to extend and customize JCB to fit your unique requirements, exemplifying the true spirit of freedom in software development. We trust you will find this capability both useful and aligned with the expectations of how open-source software should function.\n";
