I am trying to: display a content excerpt

When using the single field block or any block that allows for dynamic data, when trying to display an excerpt field, there is a setting for the length (in characters or words) to limit how much is displayed. It defaults to 0 and can not be changed.

Thanks

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

I run a test with my test site and try to add a single field block and then try to display the post excerpt field and then try to change the length for character or works but it just works as expected at this end.
