When using prismic normally, the "link" field allows 3 options - Web, Document, Media (unless you choose to refine it). When using slicemachines it states that all 3 of these options are available [Screenshot 2021-07-30 at 16.11.53] But when you actually publish your slice, you don't have the op…

Hi Everyone, This is now available from Slice Machine v 0.2.0, you will need to make a change in your Slice and push the updated Custom Type to Prismic. Thanks.

@dan I had the same issue 2 weeks ago - it's an easy solution, however I don't understand why this is the default [image] Link fields only allow me to link to external URLs Prismic for Content Creators Hello, I just started a new project using the new Slice machine and c…

Interesting. Given how it's required to specify which custom type relationships exist I can understand why this is the default but it's weird that you don't have the option to change it. Based on @samlittlefair 's comment on your post it sounds like it should be editable from within prismic slicemac…

A simple solution is to use the Content Relationship field instead. It is designed only to link internal documents.

Unfortunately, that doesn't solve the problem of using these link fields on buttons, or other similar link documents that can be either document links (prefetched) or external links (regular links). This is a pretty common use case, especially in situations like header/footer navigations.

That is true. I understand that having both links in a Custom Type instead of covering all of the use cases isn't the most user-friendly option. But it's a workaround you can use to make internal links work. We appreciate all of your feedback. I'll be sure to share it on the team's product board. F…

@dan Just wanted to point out that my solution does work and I've been using it for my latest client project without any problems

Hi Everyone, Can you tell me what version of slice-machine-ui you are using? Thanks.

OK, so I talked with the team and the field in this beta version of slice-machine-ui only supports 'links to web'. The content relationship supports 'links to documents' and neither supports 'links to media'. I have requested the team to add support for all 3 of these cases to the link field. Hopef…

Any ideas if this is still in the works? I'm still having to go into the models and manually update this to allow both types of links (web and document) which is definitely not ideal

Hi Dan, With the latest stable version of Slice Machine UI this should work, you'll need to update you Slices and push them to Prismic to get this functionality. Thanks.
