Custom fields #110

I am working on my first theme in Version 2 Beta. I would like to add additional meta data (like markdown frontmatter) to one of my content types. E.g., the page title is a person's name. I want a subtitle that has their business name. This is a simple example, but if I was able to add multiple custom fields that would be fantastic. Just adding a Using a custom variable with UI field in the editor would be great, but I can't find any documentation that suggests that's possible (maybe it's not). Most importantly - the editor (not developer) should be able to add this information in the UI. If it's not possible, any suggestion how I could rig the supported types to achieve something similar? Maybe a custom block or component? |
