hi there,

background info: I've been using Tookset and elementor for many years, and my site have the latest version of them.

It's my first time to use custom term fields (the attachment is the term fields I created), I know how to use dynamic content in Elementor for custom "post" fields, but it seems I can't find any place I can choose custom *term* fields.

Is that possible to do so? if so, could you please give me some hints or web pages?

Thanks
Ben

Hi Ben,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

Your observation is correct and Elementor's dynamic source feature only supports only limited type of 'post' custom fields.
( ref: hidden link )

For getting the values from the 'term' and 'user' fields, you can use Toolset Types Fields API shortcodes:

I hope this helps and please let me know if you need any further assistance with this.

regards,
Waqar
