The initial wireframes for directories had some additional fields

Can paragraphs on directory items scare me?

If the directory is to be exposed to Open Referral, or anything else like that, unstructured nested data is a difficult, nigh on impossible, challenge.

Hmm... good point. But I think the ability to have rich content for things in a directory will be very important. Could we not expose the unstuctured date to Open Referal ?

I was wondering whether there could be a way of turning the "Rich content" on and off on a given content type (by the microsite admin). Then the microsite admin could be made aware of the ramifications and make an informed decision.

How do you mean? Dumping all referenced entities as HTML with formatting into the 'description' https://raw.githubusercontent.com/esd-org-uk/human-services/master/Resources/LGA_ApplicationProfileBasicEntityRelationshipDiagram.png but even that's challenging because it requires knowing to render all the embedded entities and presenting it as if it was a field. And assuming that putting the layout in there makes any sense?

This is now in directories, but PRs needed to bring into microsites
