Field Object Data Types
All Field objects have a data type. Single-value fields have a data type value. Multivalue fields inherit the data type from the source field. Many types can convert to other types during calculations. Many operations produce different results with different types. For example, "10" + "10" produces "1010", while 10 + 10 produces 20.
