Field plugins#

Custom Field provides a single, general-purpose Views field plugin that covers every subfield type, rather than one plugin per type. It dispatches internally based on the subfield's data type so each value is resolved and rendered the same way it would be by the field's own formatter — not as a raw database value.

custom_field#

Class: CustomField

Renders a Custom Field subfield using its configured formatter instead of the raw stored value.

Handles:

  • Multiple values — respects "Display all values in the same row" grouping, delta limits/offsets, and "first and last only" display options.
  • Formatter-aware rendering — resolves the proper value shape for reference-based types (entity_reference, image, file), viewfield, uri, link, datetime, daterange, time_range, and map/map_string subfields before handing off to the subfield's formatter plugin.
  • Replacement tokens — exposes both the rendered value and the raw value (plus any extra columns the subfield defines, e.g. a link's title or a daterange's end_date) as rewrite tokens.
