Hello,
As mentioned in the other ticket, there's nothing built-in to Toolset that will achieve exactly what you're looking for out-of-the-box. You can use an SEO plugin like Yoast and create a custom snippet variable, or use custom code to copy the custom field image into the featured image field when the post is created or updated.

I can help troubleshoot any custom code you produce, or try to direct you to other code examples.
