<h3 id="overview">Overview</h3>
<p>As a part of the Content Templates work, I went and tested different field types on <span class="drupalorg-gitlab-issue-link drupalorg-gitlab-link-wrapper"><a href="https://git.drupalcode.org/project/canvas/-/work_items/3541037" class="drupalorg-gitlab-link">https://git.drupalcode.org/project/canvas/-/work_items/3541037</a></span>.</p>
<p>I have an entity reference to a User field in my blog as a field. I added a Hero component and want to link the subheading to the User/author field, but it doesn't appear in the list</p>
