How do I alert a Senior Admin when a junior admin creates a custom field?

Question

Our enterprise-scaled Jira instance has a significantly large number of admins that have the ability to add custom fields.  We're not currently in a position to restrict such access, but we need to enforce best-practices on custom field creation.  Is there a method, possibly through Jira Automation, with which we can alert our Senior Admins whenever a custom field is added or updated?

Hello @Meade Swenson

I'm not sure you can do it out of the box, but I know the app ScriptRunner has built-in listener that you can fire on the custom field created event and send out an email.
