Can I mix page blueprint fields?

The CMS Questions

I need a page blueprint which works with the kirby block system but also have a page field above it where I can create new pages which are then subpages of the page.
Here is what I’d like to achieve:

/blueprints/pages/custom.yml

title: Custom Page

sections:
  subpages:
    label: Pages
    type: pages
    draft: Draft
    listed: Published
fields:
  blocks:
    type: blocks
    label: Content
    fieldsets:
      - example-block

But it does not work as expected. I managed to have a page field above the blocks field in the panel but I could only select existing pages and not create new ones…

Only for understanding the context, I’d like to have a page which has this structure:
(also in my navigation I’d like to have the page as a dropdown link with all subpages in it)

Section 1: Grid of page links which are generated by a foreach loop out of all created subpages in my blueprint field “subpages”
Section 2,3,4… Blocks, arranged in the panel

What am I doing wrong or is it even possible at all?

Thank you in advance!

Once you start using sections, your additionial fields need to go into a field section, see different types of sections in the docs:

Thank you @texnixe, but is it possible to use the blocks system simultaneously then?
It’s not mandatory for me to use sections.

This has nothing to do with blocks. Blocks are just a field type like any other in this respect.

title: Custom Page

sections:
  subpages:
    label: Pages
    type: pages
    draft: Draft
    listed: Published
  
  fields: #fields section
    type: fields
    fields:
      blocks:
      type: blocks
      label: Content
      fieldsets:
        - example-block

And just for the records: that fields section can be named anything, it doesn’t have to be “fields” literally. In the below example, the fields section is named “content”.

title: Custom Page

sections:
  subpages:
    …
  content: #fields section
    type: fields
    fields:
      blocks:
      type: blocks
      label: Content
      fieldsets:
        - example-block

Thank you both, that was exactly what I was looking for. The only thing I noticed was a missing indent below “blocks:” otherwise it throws some errors in the panel:

title: Custom Page

sections:
  subpages:
    label: Pages
    type: pages
    draft: Draft
    listed: Published
  
  content: #fields section
    type: fields
    fields:
      blocks:
        type: blocks
        label: Content
        fieldsets:
          - example-block

Thanks again.
