Tell us what you are trying to do?
I am using an Elementor Global Widget to insert a set of their tabs into a Layout because the client really doesn't like the Layouts tabs on mobile devices. So my wpv-post-body shortcode is in the Elementor widget but Layouts doesn't see that so it is preventing us from editing the post body because it doesn't think there is a place to output it.

Is there any way to disable this check? I could put a post-content cell or wpv-post-body shortcode into the page and then hide it but that will hurt SEO due to duplicate content and make the page low slower so it is not a good solution.

I suggest not use Layouts when you use another Page builder and templating system, this is a path of duplication and conflicts.

Instead, you should use either of both.

Right now Elementor offers a Widget for Toolset Views to be used.
We plan to add more compatibility.

Or, you use another page builder to style Content templates - or, you use Layouts.

Give your Client preference, maybe Elementor is the better builder.
But that is work in progress related to compatibility.

Related to "Is there any way to disable this check?" yes, sure, you can disable and show the editor anyway in the Post, there is a little "link" in the orange overlay that layouts crates.

Does that help you? It's the only way to show it - unless you insert a call to the Post Body in the Layout. Then it as well shows, as it is expected to he holding content in that case.

Beda, I'm not building the toolset enabled pages with Elementor. I'm just inserting an Elementor global widget into the layout to use their tabs. Each tab has a shortcode in it to show a view or some other content that may or may not come from toolset. When I started the project, Elementor didn't have the ability to put views in their page templates and it'd be a lot of work to redo the site now.

I'll look for the checkbox in the orange and try that.

Thanks.

You might also suggest to Toolset developers that your tabs would be more useful if they worked more like an accordion on mobile. When all the labels sit vertically above the content area, they can push the content below the fold on a phone so the user doesn't see either the content or the tabs depending on where they scroll to.
