Summary of Changes
Com_categories has a nice little feature which allows the component developer to place a form file on /administrator/components/com_foo/models/forms/category.xml which get loaded when editing a category.
This pr introduces the same functionality for com_fields. If a file is found on the location /administrator/components/com_foo/models/forms/fields/bar.xml then this file get loaded when the entity com_foo.bar is edited.
Additionally an overwrite is added which hides the "Automatic Display" field for com_users as it is not relevant for that component.
It should fix #14377 and #15244.
Testing Instructions
Create a new User custom field.
Expected result
The "Automatic Display" field in options is not displayed.
Actual result
The "Automatic Display" field in options is displayed.
Documentation Changes Required
Would be nice to have that feature documented.

When you have many entities, then the forms folder get cluttered with too many files. Thats why I recommend to put it into a subfolder.

I like this proposal, I'm only not so sure about the location where the file is placed.
With this we will have
/models/forms/fieldsand/models/fieldswhich may be a bit confusing.What about following the naming patter which is used for the searchtool filters? So
/models/forms/field_bar.xml?
