Instead of incorporating Toolset into a theme or building a child theme. The Theme itself was custom built with Bootstrap and Toolset. They are using a slew of Custom Post Types, which is great. Making full use of Toolset's custom fields, which is great. However, we want to be able to pick "none or default" for template and get the vanilla either Classic or Gutenberg interface. As built there is zero way to invoke Gutenberg. The site is on WP 5.2 writing setting are on for block editor and ability to switch is on.
Told them to keep all of the Toolset functionality at the template level for custom post types, just remove it from top level / default template. This shouldn't be that hard? Right?

Hello,
Please elaborate the question with more details:
we want to be able to pick "none or default" for template and get the vanilla either Classic or Gutenberg interface.
I assume you are using Toolset Views plugin, if it is, you can edit one single post, there is a section "Content Template", you can choose option: None, then this post will be able to output the content according to your website theme settings.
Hi Luo,
Yes, you are correct, that "is" how it should work. However, the Theme is custom built and they used Toolset to build it, embedding Toolset functionality into the theme itself and essentially corrupting the "none". The question basically is, "shouldn't they be able to strip out Toolset from the top level of the Theme and just keep Toolset functionality at the Template level?"
Ah, okay, what I see it that they included "generic" Posts and Pages in the dashboard. They had selected "Classic Editor" only, placed a field group on them, restricted taxonomy, and added some views. If this is simple undone, or turned off. That should correct the issue? Change the edit to user select. Delete the fields. Remove default views. And restore to normal category / tags taxonomy?
Since you are using a custom theme, and I don't have a copy in my localhost, I am not sure if it can be undone or turned off as you mentioned above.
You can try these:
1) Backup your wbsite
2) Try to restore the setting as you mentioned above.
3) If it does not work, you can provide a copy of your website in below private message box( you can put the duplicator package in your own google drive disk, and share the link)

also point out the problem page/post URL, and describe details for the question:
shouldn't they be able to strip out Toolset from the top level of the Theme and just keep Toolset functionality at the Template level?
How and where do you want to:
- strip out Toolset from the top level of the Theme
- keep Toolset functionality at the Template level
I need to test and debug it in my localhost, thanks
