Aloha,
With all the recent advancements to WP core and GP/GB, I find myself a bit confused about what is currently possible.
Can GP/GB load dynamic content from custom fields defined by either ACF or Toolset?
I don't see my custom fields as display choices (though I also don't see them as options within the WP Query Loop).
Am I just guilty of looking for a deeper, front-end (non-coder) integration that hasn't happened yet with either WP core or GP/GB?
I feel like I might be chasing my tail ... and I'm sorry to bug you with this question.
I'm just a bit lost between what is currently available and what might perhaps be just around the corner :)
Any feedback would be very welcome.

Hi Bill,
To answer your question:
Can GP/GB load dynamic content from custom fields defined by either ACF or Toolset?
YES!
I don’t see my custom fields as display choices
No, you won't find them in the dropdown list, here requires some manual work :)
Check this video, Leo added a custom field value to the block element - page hero (start from 3:10)

Ying - you're awesome! Thanks! And thanks to Leo for the video too!
So I can get an Image, added to a POST with an ACF Custom Field, to load into a GP Dynamic Image Block, into the Right Sidebar of a Single Post layout, as defined by a GP Block Element (Right Sidebar Element type).
Pheww - that's a mouthful :)
But ...
Any idea how I can get the image's Caption to show up below the image?
Caption option for Dynamic Image Block?
U the best :)
Bill
Hi Bill,
You'll have to add the caption manually by either a paragraph block or a GB Headline block(if dynamic) as the dynamic image block only fetches a dynamic value. :D
Thank you as always Elvin :)
No problem. :)
