I found this by using the Developer Info viewer (see below) - you can use dot notation to find the values of any of the information that appears there. ![HubSpot Tools - Developer Info](https://www.stephanieogaygarcia.com/hs-fs/hubfs/HubSpot%20Website%20Development%20Post%20Images/HubSpot%20Tools%20-%20Developer%20Info.png?width=172&name=HubSpot%20Tools%20-%20Developer%20Info.png) Check out my post on [adding custom fields to HubSpot blog posts](https://www.stephanieogaygarcia.com/hubspot-website-development/adding-custom-fields-to-hubspot-blog-posts) for ways to create your own fields on posts and similarly access them on there or on the listings page.  If you found this helpful, buy me a coffee! ❤️ ←  Previous Article [Center align a HubSpot form submit button](https://www.stephanieogaygarcia.com/hubspot-website-development/center-align-a-hubspot-form-submit-button) Next Article  → [Add content that will only appear in the HubSpot editor](https://www.stephanieogaygarcia.com/hubspot-website-development/add-content-that-will-only-appear-in-the-hubspot-page-editor) Contact ## Get help from a HubSpot CMS Expert - Custom HubSpot themes and reusable and easy-to-use HubSpot templates and modules - Technical support and guidance on the HubSpot CMS [ Tell me about your project ](https://www.stephanieogaygarcia.com/project-details) ##### Contact Need help with a HubSpot CMS project?
