string
A field name of the form projects/{projectId}/databases/{databaseId}/collectionGroups/{collectionId}/fields/{fieldPath} A field path may be a simple field name, e.g. address or a path to fields within mapValue , e.g. address.city , or a special field path. The only valid special field is * , which represents any field. Field paths may be quoted using (backtick). The only character that needs
to be escaped within a quoted field path is the backtick character itself,
escaped using a backslash. Special characters in field paths that
must be quoted include: *, .,
``` (backtick), [, ]`, as well as any ascii symbolic characters. Examples: (Note: Comments here are written in markdown syntax, so there is an additional layer of backticks to represent a code block) \ address.city`represents a field named address.city, not the map key
cityin the field address.
`*`represents a field named *`, not any field. A special Field contains the default indexing settings for all fields. This field's resource name is: projects/{projectId}/databases/{databaseId}/collectionGroups/__default__/fields/* Indexes defined on this Field will be applied to all fields which do not have their own Field index configuration.
