Hey @franva,
Were you able to get this working?

nope, I was trying to find the related documentations, but then I lost in them…

Could you please share your config.yaml? It looks like you maybe don’t have a template associated with that collection. Here are some docs about setting up your config.yaml based on what you want the page to look like:

backend:

  name: git-gateway

  branch: master

  repo: franva/askwinston

  commit_messages:

    create: 'Create {{collection}} “{{slug}}”'

    update: 'Update {{collection}} “{{slug}}”'

    delete: 'Delete {{collection}} “{{slug}}”'

    uploadMedia: '[skip ci] Upload “{{path}}”'

    deleteMedia: '[skip ci] Delete “{{path}}”'

media_folder: static/img

public_folder: /img

publish_mode: editorial_workflow

collections:

  - name: "blog"

    folder: "src/pages/blog"

    create: true

    fields:

      - {label: "Template Key", name: "templateKey", widget: "hidden", default: "blog-post"}

      - {label: "Title", name: "title", widget: "string"}

      - {label: "Publish Date", name: "date", widget: "datetime"}

      - file: "src/pages/about/index.md"

@franva the concept of creating new file entry doesn’t work for file collection. Collection Types | Decap CMS | Open-Source Content Management System

@erez I think the new button shouldn’t show for files collections to avoid confusion.

Many thanks for chiming in @Barth! I’ve filed an issue for this in the netlify-cms repo. @franva, feel free to follow along there and, if you want, add additional details that would have helped you.

thanks @Barth and @jen

I guess the reason why the concept of creating new file entry doesn’t work for file collection is: each page/file has different fields/properties, not like the blogs that they all share same structure.
It does make sense.

My thought is: could we make it happen even for file collection by allowing use selecting different fields/widgets e.g. string, image, relation, object, map etc. one after another to insert fields/properties on the new page they are creating.

Is it possible?
