Supported fields and field editors

A field defines the type and structure of content you can store. Its field editor is the interface you use to add or select that content in the entry editor.

Some field types support different data formats, and some support more than one field editor. The format and editor you choose determine which settings, validation methods, and properties you'll see for that field in the content type builder.

Each of the following fields support different data formats. In some instances, if there are several ways to capture the data, a data format may have multiple field editors available.

Each of the following field types supports one field editor.

Once you know which editor you need, you can change it on an existing field at any time.

With a content type open for editing:

1. Select the field you want to change a field editor for and pick the Editor tab from the Field Settings panel.
2. You will now be in the Field Editor panel. If there is more than one Field Editor available, choose an option from the dropdown, for example Multiline Text.
3. You can now set any additional properties that the field editor supports, for example Content guidelines, in the boxes below the Choose field editor dropdown.
4. Press Save and Publish for the additional field editors to be made available for the entries in your project.
