Block field

The block field type allows a single field to contain one of several different possible structures or schemas, chosen by the user. This is useful for flexible content layouts like page builders.

Example

Define a list field named sections that allows users to choose between adding a hero block or a text block.

- name: sections
  label: Page Sections
  type: block
  list: true # Often used with type: block to allow multiple sections
  blockKey: type # Optional: customize the key used to store the block name, defaults to `_block`
  blocks:
    # Each item defines a possible block structure the user can select.
    # These typically use 'component' or define 'fields' directly.
    - name: hero
      label: Add Hero Section
      component: hero # Assumes a 'hero' component is defined and that its type is `object`
    - name: text
      label: Add Text Block
      fields:
        - name: content
          label: Text Content
          type: rich-text

When a user adds a hero block, the saved data might look like: { section_type: 'hero', ...otherHeroData }.
