Field Data Type: Empty

This explains Empty Fields. For an overview check out Understanding Data....

Empty data is a basic data type and is for adding things to the UI (input form) which doesn't actually save any data. A common use is group-headers which contain a text, but don't result in data being stored.

Tip

2sxc 12.01 also introduces Ephemeral Fields which are normal fields which don't save the value. Use that for fields which should behave like variables and not be saved.

Features

The basic empty field doesn't have any features, since all the features are in the sub-types.

Sub-Types of Empty Fields

empty-default - a UI-only field for things like grouping fields together under a title
empty-end - a UI-only field to close a Field-Group
empty-message - just a message in the edit form

Shared Settings

Doesn't have shared settings.
