Hello,

I have created a new taxonomy called "Books" for the "Woocommerce Product".

Now, I also created a term field called "bio" for the newly created Books taxonomy.

But when, I try to create an archive for "Books" taxonomy, I nowhere find an option to select a term field - "bio" so that I can display it in frontend.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Toolset blocks only support post type view/archive related information as of now. You can not display taxonomy or user custom fields. At the moment, you can display term fields on a View that list terms.

To display the term custom field belongs to taxonomy - you will have to create a view that should query the related taxonomy where you assigned the term custom field (in your case its Books) and then you will be able to display the term custom field.

More info:
- https://toolset.com/documentation/displaying-wordpress-term-fields/

- You should try to create a taxonomy view and set this view to query your taxonomy "Books"
- Add the query filter "Taxonomy term" filter and select the option "set by current post"
- within the loop editor you should add the term field you want and save this view
- add this view using the "Fields and Text" block as the place where you want

Please check the following screenshot: hidden link

If legacy (classic) mode to create a view is not activated on your install you can enable it using:
