I have a 'Brands' custom post type containing an image custom field.
I want to display a slider with 6 brands next to each other at a time, fed by all brands. So each slide displays the image field of one custom post type.

I tried using the Toolset Slider block, but it seems this isn't supported?
Should I use an old (shortcode based) view instead?

Hello,

The Toolset "Image Slider" block is for repeating image field, you are right, in your case, you will need try with a post view. see our document:

Thanks for the clarification.

I'm still a bit confused though. Is the the intention that the block workflow will replace the shortcode views in the future? I read a while ago that old views will get support, but won't get any new features anymore. Will the slider block (and other Toolset blocks) be updated to support all (possible) features which are now only possible with shortcode based views? I'm not sure if working with the old views are still a desired workflow.

Toolset Blocks plugin is advanced version of Toolset Views plugin, so all Views feature will be supported in the feature, you can enabled the legacy Views GUI by this:
in section "Editing experience", enable option "Show both the legacy and Blocks interface and let me choose which to use for each item I build".

And above document is based on legacy Views GUI, you can also setup the sliders with Toolset View block, it should be same settings.

Ok thanks, that's clear.
So it's ok to keep using the "legacy" workflow then. Thanks.
