Hi, I'm trying to create a FAQ using Repeating Fields on a Taxonomy Archives Page. Is this possible? Ideally, I would like different FAQ items to display for each different Taxonomy Term. An example of the page I'm trying to add an FAQ to would be: hidden link

The "course-categories" value is the taxonomy term. Thanks in advance.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Here is a sandbox site and you can auto-login to it using the following link:
- hidden link

I've created the "Student" post type and it has taxonomy assigned "Student Types". "Student Types" taxonomy has "faq-items" single field which is set to be repeating. If you try to add the new term to taxonomy "Student Types" it will offer you way to add multiple faq-items to it.
=> hidden link

I already added terms "studet-type-a" and "student-type-b" both has (multiple) three faq-items assigned as you can see with the above link.

Can you please tell me how exactly you want to display the Faq-items on the student archive. Here is the tax student-types archive view:

Thank you. This looks like what I was hoping to do. I wanted to display the FAQ items in, possibly, something like an accordion control?

Also - is it possible for the fields to hold HTML since I will want to differentiate the Questions from the Answers with some type of formatting.

To display the custom term field, you will have to create a taxonomy view in legacy mode and add the term custom fields you want to display within the taxonomy view's loop editor:

Also - is it possible for the fields to hold HTML since I will want to differentiate the Questions from the Answers with some type of formatting.

Yes - if you adding content using admin, you should be able to add some HTML.

Thanks, Minesh! I will try to implement this and see if I'm successful.
