New Fields types:

• JSON
• YAML (frontmatter only)
• Object (collection of fields) enabling nested fields in frontmatter
• Object List (list of collection of fields) enabling nested fields in frontmatter
• All fields can define a "Parent" in their setting among the Object or ObjectList fields defined for the fileclass (or globally in the settings)

example 1 : Object field

---
address:                               # Object field
  street: avenue Foch          # Input field
  number: 40                        # Number field
  city: "[[Paris]]"                  # File field
---

example 2 : Object List field

---
players:                                 # ObjectList field
  - name: Mathieu                # Input field 
    grade: begginer               # Select Field
  - name: Jules                     # Input field (the same definition as above)
    grade: advanced             # Select Field (the same definition as above)

  - name: Mathieu                # Input field 
    grade: begginer               # Select Field
    address:                           # Object field
      street: avenue Foch      # Input field
      number: 40                    # Number field
      city: "[[Paris]]"              # File field
  - name: Jules                     # Input field (the same definition as above)
    grade: advanced             # Select Field (the same definition as above)
