Indeed, it would be cool to be able to define an underscore template so that some logic can be embedded.

Folks, this sounds like a really useful feature.
Care to provide a prototype implementation, and/or a vision of how you'd expect it to be defined from the developer's perspective?

I created a prototype for this here: https://github.com/tschortsch/carbon-fields/commit/f0beb59bd5403374645c5becf17c4a08b7277d8b. Right now I just tested it with Fields of type Text.
It has to be checked / enhanced for all the other field types. I could do that but first I wanted to know if I go in the right direction?

Thanks for taking the initiative!
What do you think about the idea of using an underscore template? I was thinking on the case where there is a name and surname field and we want to show both of them on the header. Something like:
Field::make('complex', 'staff')->add_fields([
Field::make('text', 'name'),
Field::make('text', 'surname'),
])->set_header_template('{{ surname }}, {{ name }}'); // or set_title, set_header…
It would be nice also to support images and other data types… but I'm not sure how doable and desirable it is as a feature. I can imagine use cases where having the image in the header can be a nice touch, but if the JS API it's not developed I understand that it can be quite a work.
Just asking… tell me if I can help somehow. ^_^

@tschortsch: I believe forcing it wouldn't be a good idea.
@doup: I really like that suggestion. We should implement it :+1:

Props @m1r0.
Documentation coming soon, as well.

Wow, thanks! Looks really neat, I'll test it next week in a couple of projects. 👍 👍 👍
