  I am trying to get a value of a text field that is in a Section which is a *structure* and has multiple entry types. I don't want to use a loop. I tried this and some other variations but does not give me the correct value.
  
  ```
  {% set value = craft.entries.section('mySectionHandle').type('entryTypeHandle').myTextFieldHandle.first() %}
  
  ```
  
  What is the correct syntax? Thanks.
