We have a field (name: modules, type: block) and the fieldset has 5 modules. We would like to use $page->createChild([]) to create a specific block by code. Unfortunately I can’t find a suitable example and would be very grateful for any hints.

This recipe should help: Quicktip: Add blocks to a blocks field programmatically | Kirby CMS Will also work when creating pages, of course.

Perfect, works wonderfully. One more additional question: How can we copy and create images from an external source in this context? So that we directly create the necessary text file.
