[5.x]: Icon field includes icons from "brands" pack, but they are incompatible with standard icons #17402
Description
What happened?
Description
The icon field includes icons from FontAwesome's "brands" pack mixed in among the icons from the base pack. This issue is that to use a "brands" icon in your template, you need to specify "fa-brands" in the class name - using one of the other variants like "fa-solid," "fa-regular," etc will not work like it does with all of the other icons.
Since we don't know if an icon is a "brands" icon when displaying the field value, the two types cannot be used together without specifying both "fa-brands" plus your other preferred style in the markup for the field.
e.g. <i class="fa-brands fa-regular fa-{{ entry.iconField }}"></i>
The documentation should likely be updated to reflect this.
