I have created a template for my Toolset post type called full members in Elementor. In the full member's post type, I have a checkboxes field called services. I am trying to display it in my Elementor template using the Toolset Filed dynamic tag, but the services field I created is not visible in the key dropdown.

What is the link to your site?
hidden link

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

We have limited integration with Elementor. The custom checkboxes field is a special field that stores its value to database as serialized array and such values are not easy to parse by third party.

The Elementor plugin's team maintains this feature of picking custom fields added through the Toolset Types plugin, but at the moment it only supports limited types (like single line etc..etc..) of fields. The simplest workaround is to use types field shortcode directly in the Elementor's "Text Editor" widget, e.g.

[types field='field-slug' separator=', '][/types]

Where:
- Please replace "field-slug" with the actual slug of your custom field.
