add_filter( 'native_custom_fields_post_meta_fields', function( array $configs ): array {
    $post_type = 'book';

    if ( ! isset( $configs[ $post_type ] ) || ! is_array( $configs[ $post_type ] ) ) {
        $configs[ $post_type ] = [
            'post_type' => $post_type,
            'sections'  => [],
        ];
    }

    $configs[ $post_type ]['sections'][] = [
