Hey Lovely people!  
I want to build default `Field Type` that make `set` with this Options:

```
 {
   "fields": [
     {
       "type": "slug",
       "name": "slug",
       "label": "Slug"
     },
     {
       "type": "collectionlink",
       "name": "components",
       "label": "Components",
       "options": {
         "link": "components",
         "multiple": false
       }
     }
   ]
 }
```

Please add some more details. I don’t understand, what you’re trying to achieve. What’s the actual problem and what do you mean with “default”?

Thanks for your reply,  
So I have in every singleton Field  
name: template  
type: set  
option:

```auto
 {
   "fields": [
     {
       "type": "slug",
       "name": "slug",
       "label": "Slug"
     },
     {
       "type": "collectionlink",
       "name": "components",
       "label": "Components",
       "options": {
         "link": "components",
         "multiple": false
       }
     }
   ]
 }

```

And I don’t want every time to copy that, I want to build field type like that,  
I try to use with Layout Components, but it’s make the data very deep, I need it in the root or maximum as a son

I never used the Layout Components Addon or the layout builder fields. I can’t help here. But if you want to create custom fields, you can look at the [core fields](https://github.com/agentejo/cockpit/tree/next/modules/Cockpit/assets/components), modfiy them and place them in `/path/to/cockpit/config/tags`.

This is what I tried to do but I don’t know how actually to use with “set” and put my default options as new custom fields ☹

I wrote a demo file. Adjust it to your needs.
