Say you have this:
$array['fields'] = []; # array Defines the feilds to be shown by scaffolding.
$array['fields'][fieldName] =[]; # Defines the options for a field, or just enables the field if array is not applied.
$array['fields'][fieldName]['name']; # string Overrides the field name (default is the array key)
$array['fields'][fieldName]['model'];# string (optional) Overrides the model if the field is a belongsTo assoicated value.
$array['fields'][fieldName]['width'];# string Defines the width of the field for paginate views. Examples are "100px" or "auto"
$array['fields'][fieldName]['align'];# string Alignment types for paginate views (left, right, center)
$array['fields'][fieldName]['format'];# string Formatting options for paginate fields.
$array['fields'][fieldName]['title']; # string Changes the field name shown in views.
$array['fields'][fieldName]['desc']; # string The description shown in edit/create views.
$array['fields'][fieldName]['readonly']; # boolean True prevents users from changing the value in edit/create forms.
$array['fields'][fieldName]['type']; # string Defines the input type used by the Form helper (example 'password')
$array['fields'][fieldName]['options'];# array Defines a list of string options for drop down lists.
$array['fields'][fieldName]['editor']; # boolean If set to True will show a WYSIWYG editor for this field.
$array['fields'][fieldName]['default'];# string The default value for create forms.Here is a good way to document an array of options:
/**
* Holds configuration settings for each field in a model.
* Defining the field options
*
* array['fields'] array Defines the fields to be shown by scaffolding.
* [fieldName] array Defines the options for a field, or just enables the field if array is not applied.
* ['name'] string Overrides the field name (default is the array key)
* ['model'] string (optional) Overrides the model if the field is a belongsTo associated value.
* ['width'] string Defines the width of the field for paginate views. Examples are "100px" or "auto"
* ['align'] string Alignment types for paginate views (left, right, center)
* ['format'] string Formatting options for paginate fields. Options include ('currency','nice','niceShort','timeAgoInWords' or a valid Date() format)
* ['title'] string Changes the field name shown in views.
* ['desc'] string The description shown in edit/create views.
* ['readonly'] boolean True prevents users from changing the value in edit/create forms.
* ['type'] string Defines the input type used by the Form helper (example 'password')
* ['options'] array Defines a list of string options for drop down lists.
* ['editor'] boolean If set to True will show a WYSIWYG editor for this field.
* ['default'] string The default value for create forms.
*
* @param array $arr (See above)
* @return Object A new editor object.
