Yes, you do create new schema fields by subclassing from Field.

It's just that we saw you putting a field not in a schema but in what
looked like a concrete object. Perhaps we were wrong in reading your
code, and this is one reason why you should come up with a minimum
example that demonstrates the problem and only that, without a lot of
distracting code surrounding it. You're the best suited person to
actually create a minimum example.
