Tell us what you are trying to do? I am using a child theme of twentyseventeen default theme.
I have several template files for using with posts and or pages. When creating a new post I just choose the template from the Template drop-down in the editor which gives me the layout I want for each particular post.
When I creat a custom post type the drop-down to choose the template is not available.
Is there a way to show this in the editor?

Is there any documentation that you are following?

Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site? The posts ae not public as yet.

Hi Mark,

Thank you for getting in touch.

When it comes to default templating styles and custom post types, it is up to the theme author to add support for custom post types.

If your theme doesn't have support for this then the templating option won't show up for custom post types.

Thanks,
Shane

my child theme supports custom post types.
It displays the post attributes template choice for the products post type from woocommerce.
I wrote a books custom post type to test further, it also displays the choice of template.

The only custom post types not showing are those written by Toolset, even though I have added support for them in the template file. see attached image.

Hi Mark,

Would you mind allowing me to have admin access to the website so that I can have a more detailed look at this for you ?

I've enabled the private fields for your next response.

Thanks,
Shane
