Content Field

Caveats
-------

[](#caveats)

Before using the Content Field, please carefully consider the following caveats:

- The field stores all data as a chunk of JSON data to your database. You cannot query, sort or filter the saved data in any way.
- When modelling your data structures, we use our own custom fields. You cannot use other Craft fields within the Content Field.
