[Resolved] Adding FAQ Post Fields

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The user would like to create a FAQ post type with custom fields and be able to display it in accordion blocks.

Solution:
Repeatable field groups are not accessible in the Field source section for the Toolset blocks. Repeatable Field Groups are a hidden custom post type, that is linked with a hidden relationship to its parent post type. They need to be displayed using a view. Check the "Displaying Repeatable Field Groups" section on this article https://toolset.com/course-lesson/creating-and-displaying-repeatable-field-groups/#displaying-repeatable-field-groups

Toolset is compatible with several blocks' plugins that offer an accordion block, you should be able to use it inside the view's loop. Search for an accordion block in this article for some of the plugins:

Hi,

I'm trying to add a FAQ section to one of my post types.
I've added a Repeatable Group under that post type custom fields which includes 2 fields. One for question and another for the answer (see screenshot 1).

When I try adding it to that post type template, it's not available in the fields selection dropdown (see screenshot 2).

Please advise what I'm doing wrong if there a better way to add FAQ.

One more related issue - I want it to be displayed in a collapsible (Accordion) block. Is it possible with Dataset blocks?

Thanks
