I am using Conditional Shortcodes within Views to try and display Custom Term Fields on an Archive page with conditional logic. I am finding that the drop down menu to select Types Fields only gives me the option to select from Custom Post Fields and not Custom Term Fields.

When we select "Types Fields", the drop-down only loaded with custom post fields. We should offer GUI to select field Types.

For example:
- Types Fields:
-- Post Fields
-- Term Fields
-- User fields

As per selection, it should load the custom fields.

You mean that Types Term and User fields do not appear in the Conditional GUI at all, right?
There is no possibility to choose Term or User Fields yet there, hence it would not help to allow to choose the type of field either.

If your request is to add Term and User Fields to the GUI when you add conditionals, so you can choose them, that is simply not possible, because it's done with the Views ShortCodes, even if you want to display those fields, you cannot do it with Types (at least, not with ShortCodes).

That is why they are to be added with the "Views ShortCodes" section.

Thank you for your answer Beda. That is exactly what I meant.

Thank you for the confirmation, I will do what I need to do using Views instead.
