I want to use images from custom post types in cover blocks and containers as background images.

When trying to do so, I cant select the fields in the frontend at all, see first image.
But when I add an image to my templates I can see and use them without any problems.

I am trying to rebuild a Jumbotron from our old drupal site - and a cover seems to be the way to do, or a full witdh container, but I can't set the background image to the right dynamic source.

Hi,

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

I just tested this on my website and was able to select the image type field as the background image's source.

Can you please make sure that the 'View with' field at the top of the content template edit screen, has a post that has an image set in the desired image type custom field?
( the 'View with' field at the top, is used to select a preview post )

Let me know how it goes.

regards,
Waqar
