additional fields in certain relations

[MicKress]

Hi, in the relation account-contact there are the fields Role and IsActive which are implemented in the relation table „accountContact“ as standard. When I want to have additional fields in this relation, e.g. department, do I have to generate this fields manually in the MySql Database or is there a way to do this via Espocrm. I created fields in the tables contact and account similar to Role and IsActive (e.g. ContactRole/AccountRole -> ContactDepartment/AccountDepartment) and tried to customize views similar to contact-role/account-role.
