t6 implement a list of 9 datatypes. Each of them is storing Datapoints value to a specific Field (and cannot be moved later).

DataType Field in Db Example
Boolean valueBoolean true
Date valueDate 2021-12-31
Float valueFloat 10.00
Geo valueGeo (-69.718107, 42.321471)

A specific Api is provided to list those datatypes dynamically including their attributes (including id referring to identifier to be used when creating/editing resources from the Api) : General - Get DataTypes
