<> I am trying to:
Create a content template for a custom post type as I usually did

<> Link to a page where the issue can be seen:
hidden link
hidden link

<> I expected to see:
I want to see that all custom fields are displayed when I view a custom post type thru a custom template.

<> Instead, I got:
I created custom fields and connected to the custom post type and created a content template for this custom post type.
But when click to view one of custom post types, I can't see any custom Toolset fields, only standard WP post fields like a featured image.
At the same time, two other previous content templates for other post types works well without problems.
Another weird thing that, when I create a view with a custom post type I can see all custom fields, but I can't see them in a custom template (?).

My issue is resolved now. Thank you, Luo!
In my case, this article helped: https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/setting-view-templates-for-single-pages/
The issue was resolved when I added content template not only to the custom post archive but also for a single page.
