Use this section when you need to decide what kind of editor-facing input a section should expose and how that input should be rendered safely and predictably.

Top-Level Field Types

• URL
• Date
• Image

Repeater-Only Subfield Types

These field types are intended for use inside repeater rows rather than as general top-level section fields.

• Color
• Email
• Telephone
• Range

Field Selection Rules

Choose a field type by the content contract you want to preserve:

• use text for short strings
• use textarea for plain multi-line copy
• use number for numeric values that should stay numeric
• use url for links and destinations
• use date for publish, event, or timeline dates
• use image or images for managed media
• use file for downloadable assets
• use select or checkbox for controlled options
• use richtext for editorial formatting
• use htmlcode only for controlled advanced markup
• use map for structured location data
• use repeater for structured repeated rows
• use formSelect and reviewSelect for managed embeds
