# Shared section fields

In **Composer**, select a section and open **Settings** or **Appearance** for its editable fields. This reference explains the shared controls used by different section types. Each family page names the groups it supports; not every section type offers every control.

Checked against the product’s code on 7 November 2026.

These field groups are reused by the catalog. A family page says which groups its section carries. **Not declared** means the field declares no default. **Not set** means the seed starter has no value. Neither phrase promises how an empty field will render.

An empty quote or Team join card field can appear as a named editing slot in Composer. Empty quote text draws no rule, and blank testimonial role or company fields add no separating comma. A starter value or a required field is different from an empty optional field.

Use a section’s own settings to change its words and presentation. Some fields preserve details from an imported design. Their labels identify that purpose.

When a picture description box shows **Up to 500 characters.**, a longer new description is refused. The box reports its length and asks you to shorten it. Older stored descriptions keep their previous rendering.

## Advanced fields

In the tables, the readable name is the field label; the code beneath it identifies the stored field. CTA means call to action, usually a button or link. CSS describes visual styling. An HTML anchor names a place a link can jump to. The units `px`, `em` and `rem` express sizes in pixels or relative to text size. Values labelled as coming from the source preserve a choice from an imported design.

**Heading wrap** is offered on a section heading, card title or group title in its styling controls. **Automatic** is the default; **Balanced** and **Pretty** store a choice for that heading, across screen sizes and states. Unsupported browsers keep their normal wrapping. This is a heading-part style, not a whole-section field or a theme token.

`pxClassNames` | CSS classes | No | No fixed list | Not declared | Not set |

## Reading the defaults

A field default is a default declared by that field. A starter value is the value in the basic catalog preset. A chosen designed preset, template or existing page can supply different content. The tables identify sample words and pictures as starter content. They do not present sample business claims or amounts as real offers.

The Composer groups these fields under **Words**, **Entries**, **Layout**, **Behaviour** and **Motion**. A field with tablet and mobile copies appears once, with a **Desktop**, **Tablet** and **Phone** strip. **HTML anchor** and **Additional CSS classes** are under **Advanced**. Section and element styling open from the **Appearance** tab. An optional choice with no default and no starter value also offers **None**, which leaves it empty.

A list field has one row for the list and rows for each child field. Required means the catalog marks that field as required. Some sections still draw nothing until a file, form, service or content result is available.
