Dumb Question: I cannot add more than one textarea to template

Kirby 2 Solved ✅
1

I’m building my first site with Kirby and am working through making templates. Whenever I try to add more textareas to my page’s panel, I get a “Error: The field cannot be extended “textarea””

Here’s a look at my YML file:

    title: Home

    pages: true

    fields:
    title:
    label: Title
    type:  text
	
    line:
    type:  line
	
    subhead:
    label: Subhead
    type:  text
	  
    line:
    type:  line
	
    text1:
    label: Body
    type: textarea
	
    line:
    type:  line
	
    text2:
    label: Experience
    type: textarea

Welcome to Kirby :slight_smile:

Yaml is sensitive to indentation, and the names of all fields must be unique. Should look like this:

title: Home
pages: true
fields:
  title:
    label: Title
    type: text
  lineone:
    type: line
  text1:
    label: Body
    type: textarea
  linetwo:
    type: line
...

By the way, you can change the width of the fields and create grids (ie: multiple fields in a row), which might make more sense than drawing lines between them. See here. You can also add icons to the fields.

Also, if you have a set of fields you will use in other blueprints, you can define them as Global Fields to save retyping them in multiple blueprints.

Additionally, you can’t have multiple fields with the same name, make sure that all your line fields have different names.
