Description

Changing name and/or type of a custom field can lead to side effects.

On name change: should the slug also reflect that name change?
Should a type change after creation be allowed at all?
On type change: What happens to previously assigned custom fields and their (typed) values?
- Should we support a type migration (e.g. mail to String) where applicable?
- Should only certain type conversions be possible?

Acceptance criteria

Decisions on the handling of name and type changes are documented here
Decisions are implemented as tests and implemented accordingly
