Global and field-specific configuration

Each of the configuration properties described above can be configured globally or for a specific field in a document type only.

Global configuration properties are located in the configuration location of the HTML field type. Changes here will affect all fields of that HTML field type (i.e. all formatted text fields, or all rich text fields).

Field-specific configuration properties can be entered in the field properties UI in the lower-right corner of the document type editor in the CMS. All field-specific properties will be saved in a child node 'cluster.options' of the 'editor:templates' definition of that document type field.

Field-specific configuration properties only affect the HTML field instances for that particular document type field. For example, a field-specific property 'ckeditor.config.overlayed.json' could be used to configure a different toolbar for only the 'myproject:description' field of an 'event' document type.
