Proposed functionality

HI,

I'm a big fan of the Module Type Profiles feature.

It would be great to have the option for a second schema box where you can add extra fields for the modules using this module type.

Use case

For this example, I will use an HBA controller.

In the module type profile, we can add specific properties in the schema box for all module types that have this profile assigned.

Example:

{
    "properties": {
        "Data speed": {
            "title": "Data Speed",
            "type": "string"
        },
        "External port count": {
            "title": "External port Count",
            "type": "integer"
        },
        "External ports type": {
            "title": "External port Type",
            "type": "string"
        },
        "Internal port count": {
            "title": "Internal port Count",
            "type": "integer"
        },
        "Internal port type": {
            "title": "Internal port Type",
            "type": "string"
        },
        "PCI interface": {
            "description": "Lanes + Version",
            "type": "string"
        },
        "SAS address": {
            "type": "string"
        },
        "Supported Media": {
            "enum": [
                "HD+SSD",
                "HD+SSD+NVME"
            ],
            "title": "Supported Media",
            "type": "string"
        }
    }
}

In the second schema box, we could add extra fields specific to modules that have the HBA profile.
This way we can create custom fields that are only needed for specific module types.
Where the normal custom field feature pushed the field to all modules.

{
    "properties": {
        "SAS address": {
            "type": "string"
        },
        "Firmware": {
            "type": "string"
        }
    }
}
