Selections Plugin
Info: The Selections plugin is included by default in all new projects created with the Maven archetype.
Overview
The Selections plugin provides five field plugins for use in the CMS editor. These plugins allow you to configure selection fields in document types, supporting both static and dynamic option sources.
Available Field Plugins
- Static Dropdown: A single-select dropdown with options defined statically in the document type configuration.
- Dynamic Dropdown: A single-select dropdown that retrieves options from a service backed by a value list document in the CMS.
- Dynamic Multiselect: A multi-select list that edits a multi-valued property. Options are sourced from a service backed by a value list document in the CMS. Presentation variants include multi-select lists, checkboxes, and palette (shootbox).
- Radio Group: A single-select radio group that retrieves options from a service backed by a value list document in the CMS.
- Boolean Radio Group: A single-select radio group for editing a boolean property. The labels for 'true' and 'false' can be configured using a value list document in the CMS.
