Summary
Add an option to component relational fields that allows content editors to choose from multiple different content types at a time, e.g. Posts, Pages, Projects. Currently, the field can only allow for one or more from the same content type.
Why is it needed?
Our use case is a spotlight component that links to content from all over the site, not just a specific subtype of content. Other use cases might limit the field to just 2 or 3 content types that can be linked to from a slider or grid.
Suggested solution(s)
When adding a relational field to the component in the content type builder there should be 2 additional options:
- X has one Content Type A or Content Type B (or Content Type C ...)
- X has many Content Type A or Content Type B (or Content Type C ...)
In the content builder, this should be reflected in the dropdown for the field, which will now include a variety of different content types. It should include a marker to indicate what content type each item belongs to.
