[Resolved] When I create a new CPT, can I show any field in a column of dashboard?

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem: I would like to add a custom field column to the wp-admin dashboard of my post type.

Solution: In the Post Type editor, there is a section "Post Fields to be shown as columns in Post Type listing in WordPress Admin" where you can select from the custom fields you have applied to this post type. If you cannot see this section, you may need to enable it in the Screen Options tab at the top right corner of the screen. Some complex field types cannot be shown here, like WYSIWYG.

When I create a new CPT, can I show any field that I have defined in a column of the posts in dashboard?
I have discovered how to show a taxonomy in a column, but how can I show a field?
Look at the screenshot.

Thanks for your help.

Best regards,
Francisco R.

Sure, you can show some types of custom fields here, but not complex ones like WYSIWYG for example. In the Post Type editor, there is a section "Post Fields to be shown as columns in Post Type listing in WordPress Admin" where you can select from the custom fields you have applied to this post type. If you cannot see this section, you may need to enable it in the Screen Options tab at the top right corner of the screen. See the screenshot for an example.
