Field extension field

A Field extension field uses the document field extension point to display a custom field type. When a Commerce Picker integration is available (e.g., Discovery Category picker or commercetools Product picker), developers can add an Field extension field to the document type and link it to the integration using the Integration drop-down.

After configuring the Field extension field, content editors can include categories and products that can be added to a document, bringing content and product data together.

How to use the Commerce Pickers?

Category picker

2614

Sample product picker

The dialog shows all categories in a tree-like structure so you can browse and select one (sub-)category. Use the search box to filter on the category name.

📘

Note

The dialog displays a maximum of 200 categories.

Product picker

2600

Sample category picker

You can select one product or one of its variants (when available) from the dialog. You can also do a full-text search for a product using the search box.

📘

Note:

  • If you select a variant, its corresponding main product will be automatically selected. The previously selected variant will be de-selected if you choose another (primary) product. This behavior is to ensure a proper product-variant pair.
    • A maximum of 200 products (excluding their variants) can be displayed in the dialog. Use search to find your desired product if it's not there.

Widget picker (Discovery only)
