Tell us what you are trying to do?
if I create a view in the block editor will I be able to edit it from toolset=>View, And also If I create a view from toolset=> View, can I edit it in the block editor when I will use it with View block? And If I create a view with block editor in one page, customize it and in another page Use the View with View block, can I edit it? I can't see those editing options.

Is there any documentation that you are following?

Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site?

Hi there

You would only be able to see the menu option Toolset > Views if you have also enabled the legacy editor, to create Views using shortcodes rather than with Blocks.

Views created with the Block editor cannot be edited using the legacy editor, and vice versa. (You can insert a View created with the legacy editor at Toolset > Views using a View block on a page or template, but you can only insert it, you cannot edit it from within the page or template.)

If you are new to Toolset I recommend not using the legacy editor, and only using the Block editor.

When you create a View with a View block in a page or template, you can normally only edit that same View in the same place where you created it.

Except, you can insert such a View on another page (or template), and when you do so you can specify whether you want the View on this page to be the same View as the original (so if you make any edits on this page they will also affect the original page), or whether you want the View to be a Copy of the original (to a new View is created, the same as the original, but not linked, so the two are edited independently).

I hope that clarifies things for you.

Hi thanks for you reply. One thing I forgot mentioning is:

When I am adding a filter in a custom search with block editor, I can't edit it in the Query filters. I added SAAS Features from the block editor which I can't edit in the Query Filters.

And when I am adding a filter with the Query filters section, it isn't appearing on the block editor. I added SAAS Additional Features form the query filters. It isn't appearing in the block editor nor on the frontend. Can you kindly explain it to me.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

When you add the frontend filter for custom field using the block - it will add the related "Query Filter" for that field. So, for instance, if you have custom field "hobby" and you add that frontend filter for that using the block then it will add the frontend filter in the "View Search" section as well as it will add the related "Query Filter" for that field to "Query Filter" section and you should not be able to modify the query filter for that field.

Now, when you add the additional "Query Filter" for the your field that means it is not going to offer any frontend filter to user using which user can interact with the filter on the frontend rather when you add "Query Filter" from the "Query Filter" section that means you want to pre-filter the view results with that additional query argument. You can edit this query filter as required but not the query filters that is related to frontend filters.

That means, when the user will visit the page for the first time, he will see the results based on the query filter. Am I getting it correct?

Yes - so lets say you have custom field with active/inactive status and you want to display only active status so you will add a "Query Filter" for your custom field with status equal to active then the view will show only posts where active status is set and when user will change the frontend filter then the results will be filtered according to selected filter plus custom field status equal to active.

So - you can say the additional filter you will add it will be hard coded filter.
