Elementor no dynamic key options

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

Problem:

Display custom user field in Elementor editor.

Solution:

You can use Views shortcode directly, for example, you can display current logged-in users 's fields with shortcode [wpv-user], like this:

[wpv-user field="wpcf-custom-user-field"]

And if it is a custom user field created with Types plugin, you can use Types shortcodes directly

3) Check if there is any PHP/JS error in your website:

There isn't such a plan yet, you can add a feature request for it:
https://toolset.com/home/contact-us/suggest-a-new-feature-for-toolset/
Our developers will evaluate it.

Currently, you can use Views shortcode directly, for example, you can display current logged-in users 's fields with shortcode [wpv-user], like this:
[wpv-user field="wpcf-custom-user-field"]

And if it is a custom user field created with Types plugin, you can use Types shortcodes directly:
