Certain entities (those which implement [ConfigurableOperationDef](/current/core/reference/typescript-api/configurable-operation-def/#configurableoperationdef)) allow arbitrary
configuration arguments to be specified which can then be set in the admin-ui and used in
the business logic of the app. These are the valid data types of such arguments.
The data type influences:

1. How the argument form field is rendered in the admin-ui
2. The JavaScript type into which the value is coerced before being passed to the business logic.

```ts title="Signature"
type ConfigArgType = 'string' | 'int' | 'float' | 'boolean' | 'datetime' | 'ID'
```
