public interface ProjectImportableCustomFieldParser extends CustomFieldValueParser
If a custom field chooses to persist it's data in a table separate to the custom field values table, then it's custom field type will need to implement this interface in order to make it importable via project import.

The CustomField Type will have to return the entity name of the database table that its values are stored in. Additionally it will have to implement the methods from the CustomFieldValueParser interface. This means that the storage of the customfield is very much constrained by it fitting into a ExternalCustomFieldValue domain object.
