Creating an accordion block with a custom field in each slide

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
Does Toolset have an Accordion output or block?

Solution:
Currently, to have a block with accordion features or maybe even the option to output a View loop directly as accordions, you'd have to request such feature from https://toolset.com/home/contact-us/suggest-a-new-feature-for-toolset/

Hi Toolset team,

We are trying to create an accordeon block with a custom field in each slide.

A default or Toolset accordeon block does not seem to exist. We tested some external block plugins but they can not contain Toolset block or fields, and the 'Add field or view' option does not work either.

Is there a way to display Toolset custom fields in an accordeon? (or Tabs)

Many thanks for your help,
Alex

That's right, there is no such block in Toolset.

You could use Bootstrap Accordion syntax but then you'd most want to use Classic Editors for the View, and maybe design the Content Templates that will display content in the accordions once unfolded with blocks, separately.

We have such cell for Layouts, https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/layouts/accordion-cell/, but Layouts is more intended for existing sites, not for new development, because it's not Gutenberg oriented.

You can find examples of accordions created with Views (in classic mode) here https://toolset.com/forums/topic/split-displaying-terms-in-accordion-style-list-with-embedded-view/

Currently, to have a block with accordion features or maybe even the option to output a View loop directly as accordions, you'd have to request such feature from https://toolset.com/home/contact-us/suggest-a-new-feature-for-toolset/
