    Hi all,

    is it possible to duplicate the created fields for a channel inside an entry?

    I use blueprint and playa also and i love them for different layout views and playa for relations to other entries, but my problem is that every field can only be set one time per entry. I want to use the different field behaviours as modules that can be set more than once.

    As Example a single content page with different fields for a better view on the client site:

    Remember every step is a field of the channel.

    1. Big image teaser / image_teaser
    2. Text teaser (introducing) / text_teaser
    3. Slider a / slider
    4. Simple wygwam entries (listings, paragraphs, headlines, etc.) / standard_content
    5. Slider a (set again with different content as on pos 3) / slider
    6. Simple wygwam entries / standard_content

    etc.

    I know i can build this all in a single wygwam field, but i want it bit more visual and structured for the client.

    Does anyone of you know a solution for this?

    Regards

    Peter

    Hi, Peter. Channel fields need to be unique. You could have two different textareas, but they’d need to be named differently.
