The issue here is that when the user is using our Types shortcode to provide a link for an anchor tag, they are getting an incorrect output instead of the link.
Solution:
In this user's case it was because of a missmatch of the quotes using in the code.
Notice the continuous use of the double quotes when in fact you should wrap the field in single quotes like below so that the quotes aren't closed prematurely.

How to output the alt text from Types custom image fields
Solution:
Images added to posts as Types custom fields have alt text attributes stored but there is currently no way using Toolset to access and output them. A custom solution is required.
This example custom shortcode will retrieve the alt text for the first image attached to the current post. The shortcode needs to be registered at Toolset > Settings > Front-end content to be able to be used with the Types shortcodes like so: [types field="custom-image" alt="[get-image-alt]"][/types]
Define the shortcode in the theme functions.php file:
/**
* Custom function to return alt text for attached image
*/
function get_image_alt_func( $atts ){
global $post;
$args = array(
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'post_type' => 'attachment',
'post_parent' => $post->ID,
);
$attachments = get_posts( $args ); // get attached image
if ( $attachments ) {
$alt_text = get_post_meta( $attachments[0]->ID, '_wp_attachment_image_alt', true);
}
return $alt_text;
}
add_shortcode( 'get-image-alt', 'get_image_alt_func' );
Problem:
How to check where content template is used.
Solution:
To see where content template is used you should navigate to:
=> Views => Content Templates
=> It will display tabular data where there is a column "Used on" that displays where content template is used
=> You can also click on "Change template usage" link when you mouse hover to any content template
