Log in to add to favouritesPage last updated 14 August 2026
Use the Content type picker to select one or more content types from your project. Add it when an entry or component needs to reference content models instead of individual entries, such as for a filter, listing, or dynamic component.
To add this editor, select Resource picker from the content type builder toolbox, then select Content type from the Select a resource type window.
The Content type picker is available on entry and component content types.
