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.

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.

I've been working on 0.1.0 for the last 2 weeks and I'm still not seeing this. This is the latest release as far as I can tell, but if I go up to 0.1.0-beta-9 I still don't see any option to choose what type of link I'm creating. Even if I create a new link I still don't see this Am I missing some…

Hi @dan , The latest version is stable 0.1.0 , so it's out of beta. Try deleting your node_modules and package-lock.json files, then in your package.json change slice-machine-ui to "slice-machine-ui": "^0.1.0". Finally, run npm install again and you should have the latest version. Thanks.

Hi @Phil , I've deleted my node_modules folder and yarn.lock file but that hasn't changed the slice-machines-ui It's at ^0.1.0 but what I'm seeing (after deleting everything, running yarn again and restarting the servers) is still the same as above. Any ideas?

I'm going to test this on my side now to be sure. Thanks.

I'm seeing this behaviour also, it should have been shipped with this version. I'm following up with the team to get more information.

So in the current version of slice-machine-ui the 3 types of links are 3 different fields: link to web link to media content relationship I'm discussing with the team that the default link field should support all 3 of these use cases. Hopefully we'll get this for the next release. I'll update yo…

Great! It really doesn't make sense that it works this way as it's quite restricting (users regularly want to link both internally and externally) and the rich text links already work like this (where you can select any link type). Thanks for looking into it.

thank you! that helped my solve this :relaxed:
