Array of GUIDs custom field

Overview

The GUID custom field enables you to use GUIDs in your dynamic type. You can use the GUID custom field to interface with external systems which require GUIDs.

RECOMMENDATION: We recommend you not expose the GUID custom field to the content creators or end users and use them only programmatically.

PREREQUISITES: The Array of GUIDs custom field is available only when you create dynamic content types. For more information, see Dynamic modules.

Create an Array of GUIDs custom field

To add an Array of GUIDs field, perform the following:

  1. Perform procedure Create custom fields » Step 1 to Step 5.
  2. Enter the name of the GUID field.
    The name of the field is different from its label. The field's name serves as a reference for that field in the backend.
  3. In the Type dropdown box, select Array of GUIDs.
  4. If you deselect This is a hidden field checkbox, the custom field is visible on the website or in the backend. By default, the GUID field is hidden and you can only use it in the code.
    IMPORTANT: Once you create a hidden field, you cannot edit its properties. Make sure you have configured all its properties before finishing creating it.
  5. Click Done.
    The new field appears in the Custom fields section.
    If you want to delete a custom field, click Delete.
