The field editor allows you to create, edit and design the frontend fields on your site.
Access the field editor via the Search & Filter Dashboard, then choose Fields in the main menu.
If you are using the block editor, you can access all the same settings and features directly via our block equivalents.
Name
When referencing the field throughout the site the name will be used.
- It will not be visible on the frontend
- It can be used in shortcodes (be careful when changing it though!)
- Will be used when referencing the field in blocks and other frontend widgets and modules (for example, in an Elementor widget)

This is where you can change the main field type.
