Tell us what you are trying to do?
I want to create a View that pulls data from custom fields within multiple Post Types. To do this, I've created a View, and I selected "Allow multiple Post Types." However, when I try to insert dynamic fields for the view, it only allow me to select data from one Post Type. I want to understand why that is.]

Is there any documentation that you are following?
No. I couldn't find any relevant documentation for this issue.

Is there a similar example that we can see?

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

If that view is showing multiple post types, in the first "Post Source" field, you'll only see the post label of the first post type that was selected. However, in the next "Custom Field Groups" field, you'll see the field groups added for all the participating post types, so that you can show fields from all those post types.

Can you please test this again and let me know how it goes?

regards,
Waqar
