Set custom properties for a custom field type in a content type function

I created a custom field type (derived from SPFieldText) and added the custom property "MyProperty". Now, what I'm looking for, I need to use this field type in my Content Type function.

How can I specify my custom property in a content type definition file, just like what we do with OOB field types?

I saw a workaround here , but it only solves the XSD check problem. The site string is set correctly, but the value that I specified in this function is not set for the column after the function is installed.

thanks in advance
