# Creating & Editing Items

Core item fields and DB-authoritative editing workflow.

**Applies to:** `Nord Inventory v2.0.0`

Admin Studio supports quick creation and detailed editing. Depending on the item, common fields include:

- canonical item name and label;
- category;
- weight/stack/close behavior;
- image and presentation properties;
- internal/external use behavior;
- metadata defaults/schema/display rules;
- durability and expiration/lifecycle behavior;
- container settings;
- rarity;
- provider ownership/source state.

After a DB-backed admin edit, the database definition is intended to remain authoritative across restarts instead of being overwritten by a runtime registration using the same canonical name.
