Trying to insert a toolset field in a text editor block in elementor. It SEEMS that "url" fields are not available and of course those are the ones i want. Any suggestions? I have no problem using all the other fields... it's only url fields that don't show up.

Hi Dallas,

I'm assuming right here that you're making reference to the elementor dynamic field block option correct?

I would check on this as soon as I get the credentials i've requested in your other ticket here
https://toolset.com/forums/topic/cant-access-modules-make-sure-you-are-connected-to-the-internet-to-access/#post-1537427

However as a workaround you can use our own types shortcode to retrieve the fields value on the frontend.
[types field='field-slug'][/types]

Thanks,
Shane

I discovered that there is a different way to access the url fields... but that doesn't allow me to do what I wanted to do. I've found a workaround that will suffice, but i really need to be able to use a URL field for a dynamic text link and there doesn't' seem to be a way to do that.

Eg. what i want to do is link the word "this artist's website" to their url in the directory.
