Custom Fields

Etch integrates seamlessly with third-party custom field solutions, allowing you to use custom field data in your templates and designs.

Third-Party Integrations​

Etch supports popular third-party custom field plugins to enhance your content management capabilities.

Advanced Custom Fields (ACF)​

Custom fields created with Advanced Custom Fields can be accessed with the acf namespace.

<!-- In a template -->
{this.acf.field_id}

<!-- In a loop -->
{item.acf.field_id}
info
  • Since alpha-3, the system has returned a full object by default for fields where users can configure the return format — including Posts, Taxonomies, Users, Relationships, and Links. This approach provided access to more comprehensive data.
  • Since alpha-8, a Feature Flag (RETURN_ACF_DYNAMIC_DATA) has been introduced, allowing users to enable the return of data according to the ACF field’s configured return setting — for example, returning a Post ID instead of a Post Object.

JetEngine​

Custom fields created with JetEngine can be accessed with the jetengine namespace.

<!-- In a template -->
{this.jetengine.field_id}

<!-- In a loop -->
{item.jetengine.field_id}

Meta Box​

Custom fields created with Meta Box can be accessed with the metabox namespace.

<!-- In a template -->
{this.metabox.field_id}

<!-- In a loop -->
{item.metabox.field_id}
info
