Now the administration of you component supports Custom Fields !

2nd point : load Fields in you Backend edition

/views/record/tmpl/edit.php : JLayoutHelper::render ... params ? (TODO)

/views/record/tmpl/edit_params.php (TODO)

3rd point : save Backend Fields input

/tables : store : params (TODO)

4th point : Frontend Fields rendering and display

Optionnal. Like the Joomla Core components you can provide a paraméter to activate or deactivate the Ciustom Fields support
