This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I am trying to insert dynamic content into an Elementor template, but it doesn't seem to be working. I would like to insert content from a related post.
Solution: Elementor's dynamic content feature is still fairly new and isn't fully integrated with post relationships just yet. However, you can create a View of related posts and insert the Types field shortcode in that View. Then insert the View in an Elementor template.

Hi, Elementor's Dynamic Content feature is very new and does not offer any customization settings for dynamic content fields yet. So it's not possible to use custom fields from related posts, or to choose any of the other custom settings you can choose for Types custom fields like image size, crop, alt, title, etc.
Right now the best way to show an image field from a related post is to insert the field in a View, then insert the View in your Elementor design with a View element. Or you can use the Fields and Views button to insert the field shortcode in a post or page, then cut and paste the field shortcode into a basic Text Element in Elementor.
Hi Christian,
Hmmm ok, as shown on previous support ticket, they try to sell it "different"
I tried to place the field directly using text widget but as mentioned this is also "not" working. Inside a post is the same, don't see the related info from the relationship.
Code i use [types field='foto-medewerker' title='%%TITLE%%' alt='%%ALT%%' size='full'][/types] i expect that this is correct. Only if i choose option"post selection" > "A post related to the current post, set by a Types relationship" i can't choose on of the options but I suppose this is because i have many to many relationship.
Cheers
