Display Post Field Group on specific page only

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

Problem:
How can I show a certain Post Field group on specific pages only, instead of showing them on all posts of a certain type?

Solution:
When you edit the Field Group in Toolset > Post Fields then you can change the "Where to include this Field Group" settings.

To have more granulated control, you can as example "match" a Taxonomy term that you only use on those specific pages.

How to display Post Field Group on 1 specific page?

I am not sure I follow.

When you create Post Field Groups the main intention is to create Custom Fields.
You can choose on what Post Types to display those Fields.
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/using-custom-fields/

Then, you edit such posts, and add data to those Fields.
After, either in the Post Body, or thru a Content Template, you can insert each single Field so to show it on the Front End of the post.

If you want to display specific fields of specific Posts on another page, you can as example use a Content Template on that page, and in there, you can call the Fields using the ID attribute of the ShortCode, which allows you to call fields of a very specific Post ID.

It is not possible however to display the entire group of fields with one ShortCode, as this would make it impossible to control its output.

Please let me know if above information helps, or if I misunderstood the problem.

Hi Beda. Thanks for your reply. Sorry I wasn't clear and this should be a question about Types plugin.

I would like to use a set of custom fields when editing only specific pages as defined by their IDs/Title.

You mean to restrict the Post Fields Group to one, or a limited set of pages only.

That is not possible, as it defies the purpose of Custom Fields.
Custom Fields are there to "repeat" the structure.
If you need the structure just on one or a restricted number of pages you would use the Post Body, or WordPress Fields.

What you also can do is restrict the Field group by Taxonomy or Template or even Custom Data.

When you edit the Field Group in Toolset > Post Fields then change the "Where to include this Field Group" settings and match for example a Taxonomy term that you only use on those specific pages.

This is the closest solution.

Thanks, it's a feature I am used to using and find useful in ACF. It allows to setup a nice UI for clients to edit more complex pages whilst restricting what can be done.

Thanks for the workaround. Maybe its something you could consider adding? I just found another thread of someone asking for the same thing.
