Hello friends,
Extras seem to be an extremely powerful bonus feature for customisation that does... I can't actually tell! That's the problem. "Extras" can mean virtually anything. It seems like an even more powerful/flexible version of custom fields (with some limitations).
What do people use Extras fields for? I'd appreciate some examples. What do you use Extras fields for?
Thanks!

Re: Example uses of Extras
I've read the Help page on Extras:
It gives an idea of what sort of things I can do it with the system. But I'd still like to know what people are actually using it for in reality in the 2020s.
Each extra has the following fields:
Number: Extra number between 1 and the number of extras. This number matches to the position of the extra in the extra list of movie.
Tag: Extra tag. This field is mainly used for HTML export and printing to identify an extra of a movie but there is no restriction in its use.
Title: Extra title.
Category: Extra category (e.g. covers, fanarts, snapshots, casting, trailers, videos, ...).
URL: URL or file path of associated extra.
Description: Extra description.
Comments: Extra comments.
Created by: Extra creator. This field is mainly used for scripts in order to know what extras have been created by themselves and so update them easier without modify the others.
Picture: Extra picture.

Re: Example uses of Extras
It was a feature added by Mickaël among the few other ones he made between version 3.6 and 4.2.1
I think that originally it was mostly for having some actor-related info and additional images, but I never used it myself.
