* T-Campaign.lua
* Generic campaign template that dynamically loads campaign data from JSON files. This template provides a flexible, data-driven approach to campaign templates without cluttering ConfigRepository. It dynamically generates field definitions based on the JSON structure and renders any campaign content.
*
* Usage: {{#invoke:T-Campaign|render|campaign_name=ASP2025}}
