I would like to execute some php code when a custom field is saved (downloading images from an url). I guess one way would be to use the page.update:after hook. But is there also a more elegant way of doing this inside my field’s php part?

There seems to be a save hook in the field itself. If you check out Kirby’s field definitions you’ll see how it is used. Kirby::plugin('your/plugin', [ 'fields' => [ 'yourfield' => [ 'save' => function ($value) { // do whatever return $value; } …

Thanks, thats exactly what I was looking for! What would be the best way to download the images inside the in the panel, having a php script that accepts some urls via get or post and then execute the script via fetch()?

This post explains how to use field endpoints.
I think error handling will be more straight forward that way.
