/**
 * @class The datum fields are the fields in the datum and session models.
 *        They can be freely added and should show up in the datum view
 *        according to frequency.
 *  @name  DatumField
 * @property size The size of the datum field refers to the width of the
 *           text area. Some of them, such as the judgment one will be very
 *           short, while others context can be infinitely long.
 * @property label The label that is associated with the field, such as
 *           Transcription, Morphemes, etc.
 * @property value This is what the user will enter when entering data into
 *           the data fields.
 * @property mask This allows users to mask fields for confidentiality.
 * @property shouldBeEncrypted This is whether the field is masked or not.
 * @property help This is a pop up that tells other users how to use the
 *           field the user has created.
 * @extends FieldDBObject
