Entry field

Created by Contensis product team, last modified by r.bromley on 16 Jan 2023

This important editor allows you to relate existing entries in other content types to the entry that is currently being authored.

You can make single or multiple selections of entries and set the order. If you have the permissions to do so, you can also create and update entries inline from the entries displayed in the list.
