 Parameters are sent by name in the request between app and server, so renaming an endpoint method's parameters breaks older app builds. See [backward compatibility](./endpoints-and-apis/backward-compatibility) before changing a published API.

+description: Store values of varying types in Serverpod models using dynamic fields, with serialization and database support for JSON and JSONB columns.
+---
+
+# Dynamic fields
+
+Use `dynamic` fields when a model property needs to hold different value types at runtime, for example, plugin configuration, user-defined form responses, or JSON payloads from external APIs. Serverpod serializes the value with its type information so it round-trips correctly between the client, server, and database.
+
+## Define a dynamic field
+
+Add `dynamic` as the field type in your model file:
+
+```yaml
+class: FormResponse
+table: form_response
+fields:
+  formId: int
+  ### The submitted value may be a string, number, bool, list, or map.
+  value: dynamic
+```
+
+Save the file with `serverpod start` running (or run `serverpod generate`) to update the generated Dart classes.
+
+### Nullability
+
+The `dynamic` type is already nullable, so it is written without a `?`. Writing `dynamic?` or `List<dynamic?>` is rejected by code generation, since the `?` mark is redundant.
+
+## Supported values
+
+A `dynamic` field can hold any value that Serverpod can serialize, including:
+
+- Primitives such as `bool`, `int`, `double`, and `String`.
+- Other supported core types such as `DateTime`, `Duration`, and `UuidValue`.
+- Generated serializable models from your project, modules, and shared packages.
+- Collections (`List`, `Map`, and `Set`), including mixed-type contents.
+- Nested combinations of these values.
+
+Below is an example with several dynamic and collection fields:
+
+```yaml
+class: DynamicExample
+table: dynamic_example
+fields:
+  payload: dynamic
+  jsonbPayload: dynamic, serializationDataType=jsonb
+  payloadList: List<dynamic>
+  payloadMap: Map<String, dynamic>
+  payloadSet: Set<dynamic>
+  payloadMapWithDynamicKeys: Map<dynamic, dynamic>
+```
+
+In Dart, assign values directly. In this example, `SimpleData` is a generated model:
+
+```dart
+var object = DynamicExample(
+  payload: 42,
+  jsonbPayload: 10.23,
+  payloadList: [1, 'b', SimpleData(num: 7)],
+  payloadMap: {'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': SimpleData(num: 3)},
+  payloadSet: {1, 2, 3, 'd'},
+  payloadMapWithDynamicKeys: {'a': 1, 2: SimpleData(num: 1)},
+);
+```
+
+Values round-trip through `toJson` and `fromJson`, endpoint calls, and database operations. Serverpod includes runtime type metadata in the serialized value. Treat that representation as an implementation detail rather than constructing or editing it directly.
+
+Dynamic fields also work across project, module, and shared-package model boundaries. A dynamic field on a module or shared model can contain a generated model from the consuming project. Run `serverpod generate` after adding or changing the involved models so each generated protocol has the required type registrations.
+
+## Use dynamic values in endpoints
+
+Endpoint parameters and return values can use `dynamic` directly:
+
+```dart
+class UtilityEndpoint extends Endpoint {
+  Future<dynamic> echo(Session session, dynamic value) async {
+    return value;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+The generated client preserves the runtime type when it sends and receives supported values. Collections (`List`, `Map`, and `Set`) with `dynamic` type arguments are also supported.
+
+## Store dynamic fields in the database
+
+When the model has a `table` keyword, `dynamic` fields are stored in a `json` column by default.
+
+To store the value as `jsonb` instead, set `serializationDataType=jsonb` on the field. This format supports [GIN indexing](../database/indexing#gin-indexes):
+
+```yaml
+class: Product
+table: product
+fields:
+  name: String
+  metadata: dynamic, serializationDataType=jsonb
+```
+
+See [Storing serializable fields as JSONB](../database/tables#storing-serializable-fields-as-jsonb) for class-level and project-level settings.
+
+After adding or changing `dynamic` fields on a table model, run `serverpod create-migration` and apply the migration.
+
+## Copy models with dynamic fields
+
+The generated [copyWith](../models#copywith) method keeps its standard behavior on dynamic fields: omitting the argument preserves the current value, and passing `null` explicitly clears the field:
+
+```dart
+var cleared = object.copyWith(payload: null);
+```
+
+## Limits
+
+- **No compile-time type checks.** Cast values in Dart when you know the expected type (`value as String`, `value is SimpleData`).
+- **No database schema validation.** The database stores the serialized JSON; invalid shapes are only caught at runtime in Dart.
+- **Prefer typed models when the schema is stable.** `dynamic` trades type safety for flexibility.
