    Customize datatype

    I'd like to have a Nested Content datatype with custom styling and text on the Umbraco V8 backoffice. I don't want to change the existing one as it is used on other properties. I'm using the Embedded Nested Content of Umbraco 8.4.

    How would you approach this? Is it worth:

    • Extending the existing Nested Content datatype? What's the best way to do this?

    • Should I just come up with some custom css and js? If so, what's the best way to load the js after the property finished rendering? I tried doing this in a Content App but the js file loads before the datatypes.

    Much appreciated,

    Hi Filipe

    I would create a custom CSS file and add it to the nested content datatype.

    Thanks for he tip, Alex.

    I'm doing this, but the styling is dependent on the type of user, so I'd have to use js code too. This is where it gets tricky as I'm not sure when to load it.

    Cheers
