Today, we start a series on Deconstructing Tana Fields: Options, Plain, Instance, Date? Which field type do you use and why? Does it matter? If so, when? This first edition discusses what a field is, how to add a field, whether to move a field to the schema or not, how to use a field outside a SuperTag, and a sideline bonus on a node’s reference section. Plus, it covers options in the Field Configuration screen that all FIELD TYPES have in common. Future editions will deconstruct each field type.
