Identifies that the annotation target is a bound property that references a Module field.

For XML serialization, the useName() identifies the name of the element to use for this element.

For JSON and YAML serializations, the useName() identifies the property/item name to use.

The field must be either:

  1. A Module data type or a collection whose item value is Module data type, with a non-null typeAdapter().
  2. A type or a collection whose item value is a type based on a class with a MetaschemaField annotation, with a property annotated with BoundFieldValue.
