Hey so I have followed Angus McLeod’s infamous guide and am running into a couple issues. My first issue is that the input from the custom field isn’t being sent from the client side to the backend upon submission. While looking for this I noticed this error in the topic-custom-field-initializer.js…

The guide was written 3.5 years ago, so it needs some updating :slight_smile: I’ll do that soon. Perhaps if you could share your code (i.e in a repo) that’d allow me to tell you what you’re missing. (“infamous” guide :sweat_smile:)

Thanks for the reply Angus, I uploaded what I have to a repo here My current issues: The field input not being saved/ sent from the client to the server. The field is not displaying placeholder text/label
