+/**
+ * Validates form input fields based on provided configurations
+ *
+ * @param {Array} fieldConfigs - Array of field configuration objects
+ * @param {string} fieldConfigs[].id - The ID of the form field
+ * @param {string} [fieldConfigs[].fieldType='input'] - The type of field ('input', 'select', 'textarea')
+ * @param {string} [fieldConfigs[].inputFieldType='text'] - The type of input field ('text', 'password', 'number')
+ * @param {boolean} [fieldConfigs[].shouldBeDisabled=false] - Whether the field should be disabled
+ * @param {string} [fieldConfigs[].expectedValue] - The expected value of the field
+ *
+ * Example:
+ *   cy.validateFormFields([
+ *     { [FIELD_CONFIG_KEYS.ID]: 'name', [FIELD_CONFIG_KEYS.SHOULD_BE_DISABLED]: true },
+ *     { [FIELD_CONFIG_KEYS.ID]: 'email', [FIELD_CONFIG_KEYS.INPUT_FIELD_TYPE]: 'email' },
+ *     {
+ *       [FIELD_CONFIG_KEYS.ID]: 'role',
+ *       [FIELD_CONFIG_KEYS.FIELD_TYPE]: FIELD_TYPES.SELECT,
+ *       [FIELD_CONFIG_KEYS.EXPECTED_VALUE]: 'admin'
+ *     }
+ *   ]);
+ *
+ * Or using regular object keys:
+ *   cy.validateFormFields([
+ *     { id: 'name', shouldBeDisabled: true },
+ *     { id: 'email' },
+ *     { id: 'role', fieldType: 'select', expectedValue: 'admin' }
+ *   ]);
+ *
+ * Both approaches work but using config-keys object(FIELD_CONFIG_KEYS) is recommended to avoid typos and unknown keys
