[Resolved] Split: Elementor is not offering all Types fields from a field group

Hi Nigel, thank you for your reply.
It did not help unfortunately, but I decided to create my templates using elementor.

I do have one strange issue though. I created a field group of 6 items and only 5 of them are available in the elementor drop down box. The url field is missing and no matter what I do it will not appear as a choice.

I will contact elementor too to see if they have put a limit on the choices - but thought you should know too.

I also want to have each field (address, name,phone etc) appear with an icon and label on the front end, how can I do that please?

Thanks very much - I am learning all the time but there is a learning curve with all the tutorials to absorb into my brain 😀

Hi Andy

Rather than setting up a test site with this scenario it might be easier if I see it for myself on your site, and if needs be I can take a copy for testing.

Let me mark your next reply as private so that I can get log-in credentials from you—you may want to create a temporary admin user for me to use that you can later delete. And be sure to have a current backup of your site, even though I don't intend to make any changes other than possibly to temporarily add a backup plugin to take a snapshot of the site.

Can you also confirm which template and field group we're talking about.

Or just send me a duplicate and I'll install it locally: hidden link

Hi Andy

Looking here at the issue of your URL field not appearing, see screenshot 1.

There I am trying to dynamically set a button text to come from the value of a Toolset custom field, and the different field groups are shown with their custom fields.

The URL fields are missing.

Now look at screenshot 2.

A button has a link, and there I am setting the button link with... one of the missing Toolset URL fields.

It looks like the way Elementor have implemented this, they know that a Types URL field is a URL, and so they are only offering it to you in circumstances where a URL is expected.

So I'm not sure whether there is a real issue here.

If you think that it should be possible to use a URL field anywhere that dynamic content can be inserted then you are best passing that feedback back to Elementor, as they built this part of the Elementor-Toolset integration.

I'll take a look at the other grids issue while I have your site open.
