"Field editor" documentation - Missing part

Add important note to the help that the editor cdhtml file must be added to module and will not work in Theme!

It’s for Admin, so it works in only admin theme or AdminTemplates

You can override Editors in a Theme I'm pretty sure of that. Have you tried adding it to your theme Views/OrchardCore.ModuleName/youreditor.cshtml folder? Make sure it sits in the same folder than what it is in your base module inside your Theme Views/YourModule folder.

No the original post is correct.

Editors must be added to

• a module
• admin theme (unnecessary to have an admin theme to do this, a module is fine),
• admin templates feature,
• host startup project, which acts as a super theme.

(which you choose is a matter of preference only)

They won't be found when placed in a front end theme, as the shape table will look in the admintheme shape table for editor shapes / views.

@vitalybrandes I have not tested but you can try adding @attribute [Admin] to your View and see if it works.
