Tell us what you are trying to do?
Add custom fields for media

We have added custom fields for media, but these fields are not visible on the main screen when a media is added or edited within the post. To access those fields you have to go through the media library and click "Edit more details" which is very inconvenient.

Steps to reproduce:
Prerequisites: Toolset custom fields added to media

1. Add new post
2. Click to add Featured image on the right
3. Upload or select an existing image from the media library

Expected:
Custom fields are visible on the right under ATTACHMENT DETAILS.

Actual:
Custom fields are not visible

Then, if you go to the added image via media library you can click on Edit more details to access those fields. However, this is very inconvenient.

Can ToolSet allow to change position of the custom fields?

ACF, for example, allows user to select custom field position so we can have this view which is very convenient:

Hi Masha,

Thank you for getting in touch. Unfortunately this is not something that is available in our Toolset Plugins.

In order to get something like this in Toolset you will either need to use Custom Code or submit a feature request so that our development team can have a look.

To submit a feature request please go to the link below.

In one of the similar asks I saw the supporter advice for AFC fields to make them managed by Tootset. I wonder what does it mean "managed by Tootset"? Will it change field location?

Hi Masha,

Unforutnately I do not have any custom code that can do this. It would take a PHP developer to be able to do this.

Custom coding for our support team is out of the scope of our support.

You can bring the ACF fields under types control but I suspect that ACF settings on the field is what allows the field to be displayed in the position it is.

Essentially if you bring the field under Types control and then disable the ACF plugin, the fields may move to the position where Types would set it.

Thanks,
Shane
