I'm loving Craft CMS and how flexible everything is. I'm wondering if the following situation is possible...

When creating a matrix field, after adding a Block Type, rather than filling out each field manually, I would like to pull in another field that I have previously created.

For example:

My original field could be button which has various inputs about position, style, text etc.

*In my matrix field, I would create a Block Type of button (or whatever) and in the fields just select button field rather than having to duplicate it every time. *

I'm keen to do this to have a centralised field... so that in the event I want to adjust the button field (say to have a new option, like animation or something)... this would filter down to every matrix that uses the field.

I assume this would require a plugin of some form to achieve this?

The Neo plugin for Craft CMS lets you do exactly this. It's basically a Matrix field with some additional features, like the ability to use global fields within your block types, and to have nested blocks.
