The values are of different return types. Please refer to your field configuration for more details. The frontend value is processed with the DataMapper. The frontend value is defined in the field setting <span class="pre">Frontend</span> <span class="pre">Type</span> <span class="pre">Definition</span> in the Tab <span class="pre">Frontend</span> <span class="pre">Settings</span>You can also use <span class="pre"><f:debug>{record.fieldname}</f:debug></span> to get debug informationNote

Predefining Templates

Templates in the selector can be predefined with the following TypoScript. Please add the TypoScript to your root template.
