Fluid
--------

This field can contain fluid and/or html code that will be displayed in the backend and is also rendered in the frontend.


.. note::

    Since 1.3.1, this field can also be used to combine different record parts as a single computed value.
    
    For example, if you are having an address record with 'title', 'firstname' and 'lastname', these values can be combined to
    a fluid field 'fullname' which generates a full name out of the record parts. This fluid field would have something like
    
    ``{record.title.value} {record.firstname.value} {record.lastname.value}``

.. note::

    Since 1.6.0, the output can be rendered to the database. This helps you to generate custom content
    or create search strings for the search/filter field.
