Kuika's EAV (Entity-Attribute-Value) actions allow you to work with flexible, user-defined data fields instead of fixed data structures. These actions simplify the management of entities (records), attributes (fields), and values (data). EAV actions are especially useful in applications that require dynamic forms, customizable record structures, and user-specific data configurations.
Purpose
EAV actions are used to create dynamic data fields within your application, associate them with entities, manage their values, and develop personalized data structures for users.
