Create a raw field

A raw field is a custom field created by an administrator to show the original (raw) input in a field on a form after it has been normalized or transformed.

Pourquoi et quand exécuter cette tâche

An administrator might add a custom field to a form to show the original, or raw, value of a normalized field.

This is a read-only field that might be called something like Raw CPU type or Original Name. In the following example, the CPU type field was normalized to Xeon from an original, raw value of Xeon L3350.
