Field collection

Provides a field-collection field, to which any number of fields can be attached.

A field collection is internally represented as an entity, which is embedded in the host entity. Thus, if desired field collections may be viewed and edited separately too.

7.x-1.x Requirements

• Entity API (version 1.0 or later)
• For Entity Cache module compatibility / support, Entity API version 1.4 or later is required.

Drupal 8 Versions

Paragraphs is likely to replace field collection for Drupal 8. Field collection is on its way to being deprecated. It is recommended to use paragraphs instead of field collection for Drupal 8 projects.

• 8.x-1.x: Currently the most stable/tested version. Development has been moved to 8.x-3.x so 8.x-1.x will no longer be updated. It should be safe for 8.x-1.x users to upgrade to 8.x-3.x.
• 8.x-2.x: This was an experimental rewrite. The people working on this version have left the project so it is not supported. There is no upgrade path for users of 8.x-2.x.
• 8.x-3.x: Created from the latest version of 8.x-1.x, with the significant change that Field Collection fields now extend Entity Reference. It should be safe to upgrade from 8.x-1.x, but if you have custom code operating on Field Collections it may need to be updated.
