Custom field type overrides result in type error

Hello. I'm having some trouble defining new field types with the overrides. Just wondering if I am doing something silly, or if the overrides aren't meant for this.

I have an override like so (just to test):

const overrides = {
    fieldTypes: {
      slider: ( { name, onChange, value }) => (<div>Slide!</div>),
    },

and using it in a component:

fields: {
        Sliderbar: {label: "Test", type: "slider"}
        },

gives an Uncaught TypeError: defaultFields[field.type] is not a function at AutoFieldInternal error.

The Docs mention "You can specify a custom render method for each known field type, or introduce completely new ones."

I replaced with a text or number override and that seems to work. Assuming it is only for overriding default field types, but hopefully I'm just messing something up :) Thank you for any help.

Best regards,
Matt
