Questions tagged [matrix]

Matrix fields allow you to create multiple blocks of content within a single field.

Matrix fields have the following settings:

  • Configuration – This is where you configure which block types should be available to your Matrix field, and which sub-fields each of those block types should have.

  • Max Blocks – The maximum number of blocks that can be created within the field. (Default is no limit.)

See the Matrix Fields Documentation for more detail.
