Is there any way I can insert an entire Custom Fields Group into a View?
I am working with CFGs with 50+ Custom Fields in, so manually inserting each one each time is very time consuming and I was wondering if there maybe was a quicker, more efficient way.
I have had a look around and a search on the internet but I can't seem to find a way of doing it.
This feature is not available in Toolset, that is correct.
What would help here is a way to either insert each field one by one as it is now or to choose to insert a whole group.
It would add the question about how to style or output those fields - probably they should just be printed in the most basic ShortCode form in the editors, so later one could still alter them.
But that is also the reason why it's not available.
While it would save time to insert the fields it would not save time to actually put them in a nice layout, output the data as needed (raw, with separators, etc etc). The process to do that is the exact same as inserting each field separately.
With the Wizard, which is available in Loop Editors, you can do some similar "bulk" action by inserting many fields at once, already with their settings.
But as well here, you cannot add at once all fields of a specific group.
We could file a Feature Request, and let other users express their opinion on it as well, and then our Developers, if it would gain some traction, could evaluate if this is possible.
For the above reasons I, however, see low chances for this to be implemented soon.
Thanks for your input Beda.
I agree with your opinion to be honest. In this specific use it would have helped because the outputs desired were all in the same format. But I understand that unless this is the case then the tool would not save any time of inserting them individually.
Thank you again.
