Field Type Mapping (XP/XM -> SitecoreAI)

Use this as your primary template migration reference.

Core Model Change

In XP/XM, teams commonly used multiple DAM-specific field types such as:

General Link [DAM]
Image [DAM, Single asset]
Image [DAM, Multi asset]
Image [DAM, Single file]
Video [DAM]
File [DAM]

In SitecoreAI, migration targets one connector field type:

Field type: Plugin
Source value: pub-acdcf8ff-54f9-4269-977a-c4be5b8fde10
Source meaning: Bynder DAM Connector for SitecoreAI public Marketplace App ID
Configuration location: Field value (typically on __Standard Values)
Configuration parameters: optional mode (defaults to SingleSelectFile), optional assetTypes, optional defaultSearchTerm, optional hideLimitedUse, and future parameters
Full parameter reference: Plugin Field Options

Mapping Table

XP/XM field type	SitecoreAI field type	Mode	Asset types
General Link [DAM]	Plugin (`bd_BynderBaseSingleSelect`)	`SingleSelect`	all or `['document']`
Image [DAM, Single asset]	Plugin (`bd_BynderBaseImage`)	`SingleSelect`	`['image']`
Image [DAM, Multi asset]	Plugin (`bd_BynderBaseMultiSelect`)	`MultiSelect`	all or `['image']`
Image [DAM, Single file]	Plugin (`bd_BynderBaseSingleFile`)	`SingleSelectFile`	all
Video [DAM]	Plugin (`bd_BynderBaseVideo`)	`SingleSelect`	`['video']`
File [DAM]	Plugin (`bd_BynderBaseSingleFile` / `bd_BynderBaseSingleSelect`)	`SingleSelectFile` or `SingleSelect`	all or `['document']`

Notes:

Prefer pre-delivered base templates for faster migrations.
Use custom Plugin fields when exact legacy field naming must be preserved.
Set assetTypes explicitly when strict media filtering is required.
