# Exercise 4.3: Add fields to content types

In this exercise we’ll add the State/Territory field to job postings and to News and Media. For this exercise we have a controlled *vocabulary*, limiting input to one State/Territory, so we’ll use a select list.

## Add the State/Territory field to Job postings

1. Go to *Structure* → \_Content types.
2. Click on **Manage fields** to the right of the *Job posting* content type name.

3. To associate the State/Territory vocabulary with a particular content type we need to add our new *Term reference* field.
4. Under /admin/structure/types/manage/job\_posting/fields, click **Add field**. Under **Add a new field**, select **Reference** → **Taxonomy term**, then complete the fields as shown in the screenshot below:

## Add the existing State taxonomy field to News and Media

Now that job postings can be categorised by states/territories, News and media articles need to use the same State/Territory vocabulary. Follow the instructions above but add the ***existing*** taxonomy field to the **News and Media** content type.

Configure the form display and page display to show the new field.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://salsa-digital.gitbook.io/govcms-site-builder/unit-4-taxonomy-categorising-content/about-input-options/exercise-4-3-add-fields-to-content-types.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
