Problem: Insert a search & filter pro shortcode in a Content Template using Beaver Builder Page Builder, so I can display 3rd-party filters on a page. The shortcode is inserted using a Toolset custom field into a Toolset post type. This worked fine before I updated Toolset plugins last week, but since the update the shortcode stopped working and I now see an error in the post type admin that says "this field cannot be viewed in post type listing due to its complexity" - see screenshot attached. I tried deactivating all other plugins and determined that the Toolset plugins are what is preventing the shortcode from rendering.
Solution: There are two different things going on here. First, you seem to be experiencing a known problem with the latest versions of Beaver Builder and Toolset. We have posted an erratum about this problem and a possible patch.
Second, the message that the field cannot be viewed due to its complexity isn't an error - this is the expected behavior. Since WYSIWYG fields usually contain a large amount of data, it is not practical to display those fields in post type listings in wp-admin. Therefore you cannot select them.
We document known issues and their solutions in Toolset errata. Save time by checking there first and seeing if what you are facing is a known issue. This list is kept short. We do our best to resolve all known issues with every release of Toolset plugins.
