Field types
Wicked CMS renders a field editor appropriate to each field in your Webflow collection schema.
Supported field types
Rich text editing
Rich text fields include a formatting toolbar with:
- Bold and italic
- Paragraph and heading styles
- Bullet and numbered lists
- Block quotes
- Links: insert and remove hyperlinks
- Images: upload a file, paste a link, or paste from your clipboard. Crop, resize, and convert an image before applying it. Click Edit (pencil) to edit an existing image. You can also set alt text, position, size, and caption.
- HTML embeds: insert custom embed code
- A fullscreen toggle for distraction-free editing
- Character and word count plus estimated read time at the bottom of the editor. The counts update as you type.
- Import from Markdown or Word: open More options (⋯) on the toolbar and choose a
.md,.markdown, or.docxfile. The import replaces the current field content. Wicked CMS asks for confirmation if the field already has text.
Use the toolbar buttons to format content. Changes are saved when you click Save or published with Publish.
Reference fields
Reference and multi-reference fields show a picker tied to the target collection defined in your Webflow schema. You can search and select linked items. Reference labels use the linked item’s display name and Live or Draft status.
Click Edit (pencil) next to a linked item to open it in the detail sheet while keeping the current item open. On Multi-reference fields, each row includes Edit and Remove controls and can be reordered with drag handles. Click Back to return to the parent item.
Asset fields (image and file)
Image fields open an Upload or Replace dialog where you can Upload a file, Paste a link, or Paste an image from your clipboard. When you add or replace an image, the Edit image dialog opens so you can crop, resize, and convert the file before it is added to the field. For images already in the field, click Edit (pencil) to reopen the editor.
In Multi-image fields, images within the upload limit are added directly; larger images open Edit image automatically. Each image row includes Edit, Replace, and Remove.
The editor supports Keep original, WebP, and JPEG formats, with adjustable Quality for WebP and JPEG. The Original and Output summary shows file size and dimensions. File upload is the default source. For images you can also set alt text. File fields still use file upload only. Added assets are associated with the item when you save or publish.
To browse or organize the site asset library outside a CMS item, switch to Assets in the sidebar. See Manage assets.
Read-only fields
Some fields cannot be edited in Wicked CMS and appear disabled. These are typically system-managed or unsupported field configurations.
Validation
Required fields and invalid values show validation errors on the field. Fix errors before saving or publishing.
Slug field
The slug field automatically normalizes input to valid Webflow slug format as you type. When the collection has a detail page path, a read-only path preview appears below the slug. On multi-locale sites, the preview includes the locale subdirectory for the locale you’re viewing.
