Entities & records

Listings show records from an entity (a typed table: articles, events, …). Schema changes are site-wide — every listing or detail page using that entity picks them up.

Open the schema editor

PathWhen
Admin → EntitiesBrowse all entities; add fields; edit labels / options / search / sort
Layout → listing bar → Edit schemaJump straight to that listing’s entity

A warning in the dialog reminds you: this is not a per-widget tweak.

Records (rows)

  • On a listing page with Edit on: + Create record opens a form for the entity’s editable fields (including richtext).
  • If the entity has a slug field and you leave it blank, Dropbits fills it from title or name when present, otherwise from the first text / textarea field in the schema. Edit the slug only when you need a custom URL.
  • Click a field on a listing or detail page to edit in place; use Delete on a record when the listing exposes it.

Assistant / CLI

Same tools as the dialog: list_entities, describe_entity, patch_entity_schema, add_entity_records, update_entity_record, delete_entity.
