Create a custom label and help text for collection “name” field

Now you can edit the label and help text of the required “name” field in your CMS collections.

Create a custom label and help text for collection “name” field

Before today, the first field in a collection was labeled “Name”, and you couldn’t change it or add help text. That could be problematic if you were working with non-English speakers, or were using that field for something other than a… name.

So we fixed that: now you can edit the label and help text of the first field in your CMS collection, just like you can for any other custom CMS field.

With this update, it should be easier to provide context to clients and colleagues on how you want the field to be used.

Click on the first field of a collection to change the label and help text.
