Generated Custom Editors

When you generate a database after applying a template, the generated custom Inspector editor automatically adapts to your property definitions:

• Category dropdowns — Each category becomes a popup or multi-select field in the Inspector
• Flag toggles — Each flag becomes a full-width ToggleLeft, one per row
• Numeric fields — Each numeric becomes an IntField/FloatField or a min-max range slider
• Text areas — Each text becomes a scrollable TextArea with the configured line count
• Split panel layout — List on the left, detail view on the right with search, sort, filter, and pagination

The generated editor reflects your template exactly. If you chose Generic RPG, you get Enemy Type and Rank dropdowns, Is Boss and Is Flying toggles, HP/MP/Attack fields, and Bestiary Entry text areas. If you chose RTS, you get Unit Class, Armor Class, Gold Cost, Lumber Cost, Build Time fields instead.
