If you think it would be great having a Comments ShortCode in Toolset, you would have to suggest this here

I've created a custom content template for all posts (standard blog posts), but I don't know how to display/add the comment section.

I've tried searching here at the site but haven't found anything, except how to insert comments element with the layouts plugin, but I'm not using it.

Thanks,
Lykke

You cannot display the comments or comments section as that is not part of the content and usually added by the Theme around it.
You can add the post's comments count, as a ShortCode, though.

However I think that is not what you want, you need the Comments, and form displayed.

There is as well the Gutenberg Widget "Latest Comments", this can be inserted in Content Templates if you edit those with Gutenberg, but the form itself cannot be shown even with Gutenberg.
Your theme should display that if it supports comments.
