CMS-1338 Content Block field

This is gonna be great! 🎉

@brandonkelly I love this, thank you. When retroactively applying grouping to a bunch of existing fields (or matrix fields) used by many entries containing data already, is there any straightforward way to migrate the data?

@trijammer You can copy top-level field values into a Content Block field using resave/* commands, e.g.:

php craft resave/entries --set myContentBlockField \
  --to "fn(\$entry) => ['fields' => ['subFieldA' => \$entry->fieldA, 'subFieldB' => \$entry->fieldB]]"

Or if the data is already nested within a Matrix field with Min/Max Entries set to 1:

php craft resave/entries --set myContentBlockField \
  --to "fn(\$entry) => ['fields' => ['subFieldA' => \$entry->matrixField[0]->fieldA ?? null, 'subFieldB' => \$entry->matrixField[0]->fieldB ?? null]]"

Question not specifically related to the Content Block field, but @brandonkelly is there a way to have the native alt text field display alongside Asset fields without having to do something like like the first example here? It would mean my content editors are a lot more likely to fill out the alt text field if it was right there and they didn't have to go to the asset.

@BenHMatrix Yep, you can choose to have assets’ alt text included in their card view (from the volume’s settings), and set your Assets field to show the cards view.

With multiple "Content blocks" support for the same entry this would be perfect ❤️

+1!
It would be great, to avoid another layer of matrix blocks + entry types.
