Field chunk

Version: Free.

Why this type

The editor picks a chunk by name instead of typing it. In Fenom you include it as {include file="file:chunks/{$chunk.name}.tpl"}. Use it when a section swaps in different markup fragments.

When to use

• Editor picks variant chunk layout
• A/B partial swap in custom section
• Dev-curated allowed chunk list

Tips

Snippet call is snippet type. Static chunk name can be text if list is closed.

Similar types

• snippet for modSnippet name
• combo optionsSource modChunk for id-style pick
