Create an entity from an action

Use method: "create" with an editor. The editor chooses panel, modal, or direct-request mode, identifies an object/link target, and defines tabs or fields.

{
  "id": "create-order",
  "method": "create",
  "label": "Create order",
  "editor": {
    "mode": "modal",
    "entityType": {
      "object": { "metaTypeName": "ProductionOrder" }
    },
    "fields": [
      { "attribute": "itemId", "label": "Order", "required": true },
      { "attribute": "name", "label": "Name" }
    ]
  }
}

For typed inputs, metadata, defaults, regex, object selection, and link endpoints, see values and editors. For custom creation through a metamethod, use the runMethod guide.
