A method for creating a field database object (DO) in a database system (DS) is provided. Prior to run-time: a first page associated with the DO is displayed via a user interface (UI) presented on a display device (DD); a request to create a field for the DO is received via the UI presented on the DD; field creation options for creating fields for the DO within the first page are displayed via the UI; a selection of one or more field creation options is received via the UI and communicated to the DS; and the field is created in the DS. During run-time, the DD is sent a second page to be displayed that is different than the first page, via the same UI presented on the DD that was displayed and used to receive the selection used to create the field using the first page.
