A powerful feature of advanced CRMs is where the user is able to create custom fields (like for custom IDs from external sources). In the relational model, this is usually accomplished with a messy "custom_fields" table which inevitably results in funky behavior. But with CouchDB, it's as simple as creating that new custom field on whichever document it belongs in. What's the best way to accomplish that via CouchRest, when the 'property' directive seems to be somewhat static? I’ve been thinking about using CouchDB for a CRM.
