### Methods

| Name | Description |
| --- | --- |
|[ get_field_code()](../field/get_field_code/#default) | Returns text between field start and field separator (or field end if there is no separator). Both field code and field result of child fields are included.<br>(Inherited from [Field](../field/)) |
|[ get_field_code(include_child_field_codes)](../field/get_field_code/#bool) | Returns text between field start and field separator (or field end if there is no separator).<br>(Inherited from [Field](../field/)) |
|[ remove()](../field/remove/#default) | Removes the field from the document. Returns a node right after the field. If the field's end is the last child of its parent node, returns its parent paragraph. If the field is already removed, returns ``None``.<br>(Inherited from [Field](../field/)) |
|[ unlink()](../field/unlink/#default) | Performs the field unlink.<br>(Inherited from [Field](../field/)) |
|[ update()](../field/update/#default) | Performs the field update. Throws if the field is being updated already.<br>(Inherited from [Field](../field/)) |
