I have a similar issue with dynamically sourced URLs for buttons in content templates. I am trying to get an email address from a post's custom field. Can get it using single field block but not using the button block.

Hello and thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Indeed, the button block will only accept a URL field. It won't accept an Email field. You will need to do it using a workaround.

For example, use the Single field block and style it to appear similar to a button. (Background, border, radius, etc.)

Another workaround could be to use a "Fields&Text" block and build the button using HTML and shortcodes. Note that you can enqueue Twitter Bootstrap styles in Toolset Settings. You can use the "btn" classes from it:
hidden link

I filed this request as a new feature for Toolset Blocks, it will be evaluated by the development teams and hopefully, this may land in an upcoming release.
