"items is missing custom" field, error in toolset dashboard

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

Problem:
On the Toolset Dashboard, I have a post type where both the Template and Archive columns say "... is missing custom fields."

Solution:
Don't worry about that.
It is telling you this because you display those posts with the Theme's native template, which cannot display Custom Fields (unless you add that manually with PHP)

Don't worry about that.
It is telling you this because you display those posts with the Theme's native template, which cannot display Custom Fields (unless you add that manually with PHP)

Instead of using PHP though, you can simply create a Content Template, for example, and apply that to those Post Types.
In that Template, you can then insert the Custom Fields you have created for those Post Types, so they will display.

The same is valid for the archives.
You can create and assign an archive to that Post type in Toolset > WordPress Archives, and insert the Custom Fields in its loop - then the archive will display them too.

You can get more details here as well:
