Drupal users can join Fox Valley Drupal for a hybrid Custom Field session with module maintainer Andy Marquis on 19 August 2026. The meetup begins at 18:30 CDT (23:30 UTC) at Fox.Build in St. Charles, Illinois, with Zoom available for online attendees. Marquis will begin the Custom Field presentation, demonstration, and discussion at 19:00 CDT (00:00 UTC on 20 August).

The session will examine how Custom Field can be used for complex, repeatable, and nested Drupal content. The module provides dynamic custom field types with widget and formatter support and can consolidate multiple values within a single field table. The project presents that storage model as an alternative to Paragraphs and entity-reference approaches for some structured-data use cases; Drupal.org currently reports 3,052 sites using the module and lists its stable releases as covered by the security advisory policy.

The event opens with a meet-and-greet at 18:30 CDT, while local user groups can continue meeting in person from 20:00. Fox Valley Drupal is hosting the meetup and has invited other Drupal user groups to join. Registration is available for both in-person and online attendance; further details are available on the Fox Valley Drupal event page on Luma.
