Section

type: Section

Sections are like Collections for FlexForm. The difference is, that you can't reference foreign types. Instead you define anonymous structures, which are only available for this specific FlexForm field.

A Section requires you to define at least one Container, which holds the available fields. You can have multiple Containers with different fields. If you define more than one Container, the editing interface will display multiple buttons to choose from.
