-     * This method will hydrate the `fields` property of the model. The reason for

-     * we store them as dynamic properties of the job. For example job.foo.bar,
-     * where `foo` is the name of a Group, and `bar` is the name of a control.
-     * Thus, when we create a job using a form in the client, the job object will

-     * of dynamic properties determined by the Groups and Controls. This kind of
-     * object is nice to work with in certain circumstances. However, the api

-     * So, what this method does is given a JobModel in the form of A, read all
-     * of those dynamic properties and set them into `fields`. Doing this requires
-     * knowledge of the Form that was used to create the job. Moreover, since the
-     * dynamic properties do not contain the ids of the fields, we also allow to
-     * pass in a `controlFieldIdMap`. This map stores the mapping between Control
-     * and the Field that was created in the Job to store the value for that
-     * Control. This is useful, if for example you want to compare a Job in form A
-     * with a Job in form B, for example if you want to update the Job on the API
-     * with a Job that was saved by a client in form A.
-     *
-     * E.g.
-     * Client -> API: client requests form
-     * User -> Client: user fills in the form and submits
-     * Client -> Firestore: client saves the Job in form A i.e. dynamic props
-     * Firestore -> Function: A function is triggered to sync the job to the API
-     * Function -> API: Function checks if job already exists, it receives 404
-     * Function -> Function: The function calls `hydrateFields(...)`
-     * Function -> API: The function POST the Job to /jobs
-     * Function -> API: The function POST each field to /fields
-     *
-     * Similarly, if the user updates the job
-     * Client -> API: client requests form
-     * User -> Client: user fills in the form and submits an update
-     * Client -> Firestore: client saves the Job in form A i.e. dynamic props

-     * Function -> API: Function checks if job already exists, it receives 200
-     * Function -> Function: The function calls `hydrateFields(...)` passing in
-     *                       the map is made by iterating over the fields it
