I am trying to: Create a view from within a post. Specifically, I'm creating a table view of all toilets for a specific toilet manfacturer

Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link

I expected to see: I expected to be able to engage with the controls of the builder to build my table.

Instead, I got: I'm only able to partially do so and have been unable to engage with the toolset controls to add elements to my table.

Video recording which shows the behavior: hidden link

This is the post which contains the view: hidden link

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

I try to use the admin access details you shared but the admin access details is not working at this end.

Can you please tell me what dynamic content you want to display using what field?

Hi Minesh,
There will be a number of fields which I will include. For example, from the custom post type of "toilets", I'd want to include fields such as:
* Pieces
* Toilet Style
* Bowl shape

My main challenge (as illustrated in my video) is that the editor seems un-usable. Like clicking on various elements just doesn't work.

Thank you,
Rick

Yes - indeed there is some issue working with Fields and Text block within the table columns you defined but I do not see any other user reported this issue.

So, instead of using the Fields and Text block, I've added the single field block and with every single field block I've tried to display the fields like you shared:
* Pieces
* Toilet Style
* Bowl shape

And I can see its displayed just fine.

Thank you.

From a layout perspective though, it's hard to work with single fields. That is, like trying to combine a couple fields in a sentence. For example, this toilet is a [toilet style] toilet with [pieces]. Is there a way to work with single fields to accomplish this?

In that case, I suggest you should try to create a content template and format your output within content template and add that newly created content template using content template block.

As you can see I've added the following content template and added the content you wanted to display:
=> hidden link

And later added the above content template within your table column using content template block:
=> hidden link
