Hello and thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

We currently do not have any official documentation or support for such features. You may want to check the Toolset Maps plugin's code to see how it registers the Address field, but we won't be able to offer support for it.

Maybe there is another way that will help you implement your use case without needing to create your own field type. Can you explain what you want to build and for what reasons and I'll see how we can help?

In the meantime, you may want to check our custom field API here https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/toolset-custom-field-api/
