Dear support team,

I'd like to create a table of custom fields on the left side that, when clicked on the post tittle (or ID) link, it will load the full information of the custom post type on the right

Hi, unfortunately there's nothing built-in to Toolset that will create this type of interface for you. The only way to achieve something like this is to use custom JavaScript to show and hide information already included on the page. So you could use two Views - one to display the table, and another to display all the results. Then use custom JavaScript and CSS to toggle each detail section on or off. Otherwise, you can redirect the User to a different page to show the details.

Thank you Mr. Cox for the swift reply.

Understood. After posting my own ticket, I found the following quazi-solution: https://toolset.com/forums/topic/possible-product-list-left-product-information-on-the-right-ajax-load/

Would you happen to know how soon (if ever) this would come?

Since the functionality of the site will be wholly base on DIVI and Toolset, I'd have to change the UX process and UI designs if this is not possible yet.

Finally, if I wanted to achieve what you just said, would these be the steps to follow?:

1) Create a "Content Template" to display the cpt custom fields on another page once the post tittle (or ID) link is clicked.

2) Create permissions based on the role to only allow certain fields to be edited.

I'm not aware of any plans to develop this type of interface with AJAX support, so I would encourage you to submit your request over here: https://toolset.com/home/contact-us/suggest-a-new-feature-for-toolset/
That will let our management team know you would like to see this type of feature implemented.
