What would be the best way to manage and display large amounts of Custom Fields for the current post only?

Ideally I would use to a View that only queries the current page but I don't believe that is possible?

I have a need to display a large number of Custom Fields that might change on a regular basis (new fields in, old fields out, and the order of display changing), so being able to manage and update them from one place for site wide distribution would be very useful.

What would be the best way to do this with Toolset?

Hi Ben,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

I would suggest creating a content template for the page.

This way you can display all the custom fields for that page.

Thanks,
Shane

Thank you for your reply and advice Shane.

If I use a Content Template, am I able to use it in Elementor and other page builders and in widgets etc? Are there any restrictions on where I can use it?

[Shane]

Hi Ben,

Yes you are able to use the page builder with the content templates, there shouldn't be any restrictions.

Also there should be a button on your content template to activate your page builder on the content template.

Please let me know if this helps.

Thanks,
Shane

Thank you for the information Shane.

There doesn't seem to be any button on my content template to activate Elementor though?

Hi Ben,

I believe for elementor its a little different based on our documentation.

Take a look at the link below and let me know if it helps.

Thank you Shane.

I will have a look at that guide now.
