Field properties dto missed in ClientLib

Hello,

To control my form in my Client, I need some fields properties like pattern. But I can’t get by the SquidexClient. FieldPropertiesDto only contains :

I’d like to get all of them :
Should I create my own client for that ?

As you can see the FieldPropertiesDto is an abstract class, because the individual field types have different settings.

So when you have a string field you get a StringFieldPropertiesDto and so on.

For the CLI I have implemented a test generator, that showcases how to work with the properties.

Squidex/squidex-samples/blob/master/cli/Squidex.CLI/Squidex.CLI/Commands/Implementation/TestDataGenerator.cs#L60


                fieldData[language.Iso2Code] = value;
            }
        }


        data.Add(field.Name, fieldData);
    }


    return data;
}


private JToken GenerateValue(FieldDto field)
{
    switch (field.Properties)
    {
        case BooleanFieldPropertiesDto booleanField:
            {
                if (booleanField.IsRequired)
                {
                    var value = random.Next(2);


                    return value == 1;
