Retrievable by default via unsorted/unfiltered/unordered paginated list
Sorting/filtering within Laravel Collection server-side is fine
Will filter or sort by: date_created date_uploaded tags content_type keywords

I'll need to research whether the Canto API has this functionality -- I'm assuming it does.

If so, we can probably have just one field type, with a setting that lets you configure whether it allows the choosing of an asset, or the choosing of a folder (rather than two separate field types)

So this is definitely worth testing out again as a frontend-only workflow where our Rubin Obs web client fetches data directly from the Canto API, but the frontend devs ruled it out as it was abysmally slow, apparently.

Let's definitely chat about this on Tuesday - I'd like to chat about how you envision storing the asset data from a folder selection. For instance, one giant JSON stringified object of all asset data from that folder? Etc.

What I'd probably do here is just have the DAM Asset Picker field store an array of Canto assets, and for a "folder", we'd just grab all of the assets inside it.

Estimate: 2 hours
