# 1.2 {#changelog-1-2}

-   [Features](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/friendsoftypo3/content-blocks:features@main)

## Features {#features}

### File Types {#file-types}

Content Blocks now supports the re-definition of File Types (sys_file_reference).
This new Content Type can be defined inside the `ContentBlocks/FileTypes` folder:

**EXT:your_extension/ContentBlocks/FileTypes/image/config.yaml**

```yaml
name: example/file-type-image
typeName: image
prefixFields: false
fields:
  - identifier: image_overlay_palette
    type: Palette
    label: 'LLL:EXT:core/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_tca.xlf:sys_file_reference.imageoverlayPalette'
    fields:
      - identifier: alternative
        useExistingField: true
      - identifier: description
        useExistingField: true
      - type: Linebreak
      - identifier: link
        useExistingField: true
      - identifier: title
        useExistingField: true
      - type: Linebreak
      - identifier: example_custom_field
        type: Text
        label: 'My custom Field'
      - type: Linebreak
      - identifier: crop
        useExistingField: true
```

By re-defining the `image` type like in this example, you can add your
custom fields and position them in your desired spot.

### Type Overrides {#type-overrides}

Content Blocks now features a way to override types in the context of a
Collection with the new field option `overrideType`. This does also
work for the Field Type `File`.

```yaml
name: friendsoftypo3/example
table: tx_friendsoftypo3_example
prefixFields: false
labelField: title
fields:
  -
    identifier: title
    type: Text
    label: Title
  - identifier: collection_override
    type: Collection
    foreign_table: tx_hov_domain_model_record1
    overrideType:
      record1:
        - identifier: type
          type: Select
          useExistingField: true
        - identifier: title
          type: Text
          useExistingField: true
        - identifier: custom_field
          type: Text
```
