Adding headings and text to fieldsets in Sanity projects.

8 replies
Last updated: May 25, 2021
Hey there! Just started my first Sanity project and loving it so far. I have a bunch of fieldsets that I would like to add a heading, and some content to just to give some more context on what the following fields will relate to but I can't seem to find a way to add those. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Cheers!

Hey Ryan! Welcome! You can specify a title and description on your fieldsets like this:
{
  type: 'object',
  name: 'person',
  fieldsets: [
    {name: 'social', title: 'Social media handles', description: 'A collection of social media handles'}
  ],
  fields: [
    {
      title: 'Name',
      name: 'name',
      type: 'string'
    },
    {
      title: 'Twitter',
      name: 'twitter',
      type: 'string',
      fieldset: 'social'
    },
    {
      title: 'Instagram',
      name: 'instagram',
      type: 'string',
      fieldset: 'social'
    },
    {
      title: 'Facebook',
      name: 'facebook',
      type: 'string',
      fieldset: 'social'
    }
  ]
}
You can find the documentation on this

Oh excellent, thank you. I didn't see in the documentation that you could add a description but I also should have tried it 😄
Is it possible to add stand-alone headings and text do you know?

The description bit is missing from the docs, but I gave it a go and it worked out!Hmmm. I’m not sure re:separate headings. How are you picturing them? Like moving the headings in between the fieldset’s fields? Or am I misunderstanding?

Yeah I was thinking of something like the following:

[
  {name: "field", "type: "string", title: "Example field"},
  {type: "heading", level: 4, title: "This is a heading"},
  {type: "message", title: "This is a stand-alone piece of text"},
  {name: "field2", "type: "string", title: "Example field"},
]

Just to follow up on this, I just ended up making my own custom components 🙂
