We’re excited to announce new ways to store and organize your data in Headless CMS: Multi-Select Fields and Simple Lists! These new features give you the flexibility to create structured, dynamic data easily manageable by Content Editors.

At Flotiq, we’re always looking for ways to make content editing smoother. These new fields are another step towards empowering teams to manage data without unnecessary complexity.

Multi-Select Fields

The multi-select field allows users to select one or more items from a pre-defined set of options, such as company names, business roles, or industries. This ensures consistency and simplifies data entry. 

  • Data Structure: Array of strings, with validation against the selected set of options. 
  • Use Cases: Storing multiple company names, industries, roles, or other categorized data.


Key Features: 

  • Validation ensures that only valid options are selected. 
  • Streamlined management of frequently used datasets. 

Simple Lists

The simple list field allows you to store a sequence of strings with optional validation. Customize the content by adding, editing, or reordering items. 

  • Data Structure: Array of strings, with optional validation via regex patterns. 
  • Use Cases: Managing ordered or editable lists, such as a list of industries, business roles, or product names.
