Compound Field¶

Combine Drupal field types into a reusable field. A conference can have repeated sessions, each with a title, address, topics and speaker reference. Each sub-field uses its native widget, formatter and validation.

A session with Address, taxonomy, Media, content, email, link and text sub-fields.

Use a compound for records with a fixed shape that belong to their host content. The outer field can have unlimited items; sub-fields need finite caps. Compound values share the host's revisions and translations.
