# Declare Configurable Fields Only for Nominations

## Context

Custom-field support is explicitly selected per business object. Metadata opts nominations in, but their value persistence and authoring experience are still recorded debt.

## Decision

Within this module only nominations opt into Platform configurable fields, forms and page layouts; other meeting and governance records do not declare that capability.

## Alternatives Considered

Add configurable fields to meetings and decisions as well. The cited product scope selects committees and nominations, not every governance entity.

Use a custom nomination-field implementation. The selected capability requires the shared Platform mechanism.

## Consequences

Future configurable nomination forms must follow the declared shared capability rather than extend every governance screen. The metadata declaration does not establish working value storage or form editing.
