            'title' => 'Gender',                                         // field title (can be used in views)
            'type' => \Trexology\Extendable\CustomFieldType::Radio,     // field type
            'options' => [                                              // possible values/labels

            ],
            'default' => 'male'                                              // default value
        ]
    ]
];
```
