Custom Labels in a static zone (static fields)

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is the correct thread, but I was trying to figure out if it was possible to add custom labels inside the static zone of a page (instead of inside specific slices)?

Thanks!

Hey Sofia,

Welcome to the community :slight_smile:

I moved your question that you posted in the other thread here.

When you say a custom label can you give me more detail on what you mean?

Is it a label on a rich text?

Or just a label for selecting configurations? Because if it's that's your use case the label are just strings in a select field which is what you can add in a static zone. This field can be your configuration options selector.

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks.

Hi Phil,
Apologies for posting in the wrong thread.

I do mean custom label on a rich text, yes. For context, we already have custom rich text labels in our website, mostly for code inserts inside a paragraph, which works fine in various slices, but we couldn't figure out how to do in a static zone. Are we missing something?

No worries.

It should work exactly the same as in a Slice. You need to edit the custom-type JSON directly. What is the problem you're seeing exactly?

This can be done in the custom type builder if you're using a legacy set up or in the project files if you're using Slice Machine.

Indeed, we just weren't looking in the right folder, thanks Phil!
