[Resolved] No created “Multiline” custom field as add option in

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem: I'm trying to insert a multiline custom field into my template using the dynamic inline field feature, but I cannot find the field in dynamic sources.

Solution: Use a Single Field block instead of the inline field feature, and select the multiline field from dynamic sources in the sidebar options for the block.

No multiline cusstom fields on this menu.PNG
Custom field - multiline.PNG

Hi,
I am trying to put all my new custom fields in a Content template for the custom post using Blocks, but some of them are missing, even such type of field is already created in the custom field group .
Every other are there (in Blocks dropdown menu options) except if it is "Multiple lines"- custom field, which I need for the Description of a custom post.

Does it bug or I'm not doing something right?

Please see the images...
Unfortunately, I can't catch dropdown with screenshoot.

Thanks in advance,
Sinisa

Hi, it looks like you have inserted a paragraph block in your template, and you are trying to insert content from a multiline field inside the paragraph block using the inline field feature (the icon that looks like an "a" with a lightning bolt in the block's top menu bar). If I understand that correctly, I think the better way to insert this content is to add a new Single Field block in the template, then use the dynamic content feature for the Single Field block to display information from the multiline field. Since a multiline field can have line breaks and multiple paragraphs of content, it does not really work well as an inline field in a paragraph block, since it can span multiple paragraphs. Instead, this field should be added to the template using a separate block like Single Field, Fields and Text, Classic block, or custom HTML and shortcode.

If you add a separate Single Field block, can you find the multiline field in dynamic sources? If so, that should be your best bet. If not, something else may be going on and I'll need to take a closer look.

Hi!
Ok. Thank you for a clarification. I thought that all textual fields can go into paragraph block. My mistake...

But another inline problem, I can't add "Heading "inline dynamic address custom field input, as in this video with additional text before of after:
hidden link

If "Dynamic sources" button is on (right side menu), I can't type any additional text (before or after inline custom field input, thunder icon>drop menu), it seems just dynamic value can bee added,
but if Dynamic button is OFF I can type any text, but cannot add custom field dynamic value,quite opposite...
So, I can not achieve to display for example: Address: (custom filed address dynamic value) as in video with additional label text before or after dynamic value, just text or value...

Also why I have same drop down menu twice, for same HEADING block, in middle block section and again in the sidebar menu?
It should be the same, right? I've tried all options with both menus

There are two blocks called "Heading", and it looks like you have selected the WordPress Heading block here based on the icon in the top left corner of the block menu. Instead, try the Toolset Heading block, it has an orange icon with the letter "H". It incorporates dynamic content a bit differently.
