It would probably be best to move the logoc into a page model. Since this is inside a builder field as you say, you would have to convert to builder field into blocks, then filder by the block type that contains the structure field that in turn contains the caticons etc. and in the end combine all results into an array.

And in the end, this would only give you the icons that are already stored, not the ones that live in those items that haven’t be saved yet.

thx @texnixe,

i’m currently rethinking my whole setup/idea…

It was about a place to hold ressources that are selectable in a multiselect field…

so… what about something like this:

is it possible to get those values like “pasta - lasgagne” into a multiselect field on a seperate blueprint?
What would be the query/fetch syntax?

Yes, that would be possible. If you just have one structure field, you can use the query from the docs.

If you want to combine options from multiple structure fields, you can use a page model method to generate a single structure, then query that.

Or use a route to generate JSON with all options from all fields.
