Tell us what you are trying to do?
I have created a custom field group + associated custom fields - I figured out how to use a custom field on various pages.
I would like to use the same custom field via JetMenu - which invokes Elementor to create a MegaMenu.
In my current use case, I have a custom field that is a URL - which I am trying to add to Elementor in the MegaMenu to a heading field. I'm trying to add a dynamic URL to the link - it sees the toolset url field - I can click on the dropdown for the relevant URL link - add it - but it does not take.
Now, I had the similar behaviour to a page - but when I refreshed the page that had the field below it ( wordpress edit page ) - and then went back into elementor - it worked - because I guess that page had "context" to the custom field.
Adding a MegaMenu and going into Elementor - it loses that connection / context. So, I am unsure if it is possible to add a custom field this way. Is it possible to add a shortcode for the custom field in the Heading text field or something similar?
Is there any documentation that you are following?
Cannot find documentation
Is there a similar example that we can see?
What is the link to your site?
Hello,
For the question:
Is it possible to add a shortcode for the custom field in the Heading text field or something similar?
It depends on the plugins(Elementor and MegaMenu) you are using, I suggest you try with a text widget, and put the Types shortcode [types ...] into text widget content, see Elementor document:
hidden link
And here is the document about Types shortcodes:

Hi,
So I am using Elementor Pro and JetMenu ...
1) Custom Field renders for on-Page custom fields and here I use a Header widget - URL dynamically renders with ToolSet URL field - fine
2) In Appearance, Menus - using JetMenu - I then go into a Menu Item - and I now edit the custom link via JetMenu with Elementor Pro. Now, If I choose a Heading widget, choose ToolSet custom URL field for the link ( clicking Dynamic ) - I can see the URL field from dropdown - but nothing renders. Heading widget does not "see" the link. That's my issue - solutions?
Since it is a compatibility issue, I don't have a copy of those plugins in my localhost, please provide a copy of your website in below private message box, also point out the problem page URL, where and how can I see the problem:
can see the URL field from dropdown - but nothing renders. Heading widget does not "see" the link.

You can put the duplicator package in your own google drive disk, and share the link in private message box.
I need to test it in my localhost, thanks
Thanks for the details, I am downloading the files, will update here if there is anything found
Luo - I need to upload archive again - it failed to upload ... will update in a bit.
*** Update *** Archive uploaded
I can install the duplicator package in my localhost, and have tried the steps you mentioned above:
1. Appearance, Menu ( Primary )
2. Hover over Government - click on JetMenu
3. Click on "Edit Mega Menu Item Content"
4. Elementor editor will show - choose a heading, choose "Sample Ballot"
5) in field "Link", setup it as:
Toolset URL Field (test link 1)
See screenshot: test-link-1.JPG
Test it in front-end,
hidden link
I can see it works fine, the menu item "Sample Ballot" does link to the correct URL.
Please let me know if you need assistance to setup a demo in your own website.
Luo,
This does not work for me ... As soon as I assign the ToolSet field - this becomes unlinkable both in b/end and f/end ...
Can you test for yourself on the live site? It's nighttime here - so no issues.
I have tested it in your website, did not make any change, I can see the menu item "Sample Ballot" is linked to URL correctly:
hidden link
It is correct field value here:
hidden link
field "test link 1", you are using value: hidden link
Is there any missing?
You might try to clear your browser cache or try with another browser, and test again.
Nope - not working.
Can you show me a screenshot of what you see when you hover over menu link?
I have asked our colleague to double confirm it,
in URL:
hidden link
the menu item "Sample Ballot" does link to URL hidden link.
And I have checked it in HTML source codes, this link does setup correctly, see screenshot test-link-2.JPG
Lou,
On the B/end - when you hover over the link - does it behave as if it is a link?
On the F/end - when you hover over the link - does it behave link a link?
To avoid more misunderstandings, if you need more assistance for it, please provide detail steps to duplicate the same problem:
Where and how can see the problem you mentioned above:
this becomes unlinkable both in b/end and f/end
Thanks
As can be seen my html is quite different from yours ...
I'm stumped!!
Can you login into the b/end for me and double check?
It's late for me - I'll check in the morning.
