Pro / Cornerstone feature request - featured image + excerpt editable within Cornerstone

Having access to any page / post featured image and excerpt within the Cornerstone builder would be a huge help in efficiency, since several other things are already accessible in the page / post settings area.

Would this be something others would appreciate?

I did manage to wrangle a hook and snippet that made this happen a few years ago, not sure if that approach would still work, but a native feature would be awesome!

Was thinking about stuff like this the other day. How awesome it would be if you could do most things in Cornerstone. Having access to your ACF fields, SEO settings, and any other page settings right inside Cornerstone would make for a very nice and streamlined experience. Eliminating the back-and-forth between the wp-admin and Cornerstone.

I think clients would love it too.

Yes for sure, ACF access would be awesome, though I’d imagine a little complicated translating the ACF field API into the Cornerstone field API.

+1 on that request though if it is at all possible!

The featured image one has been on our radar for a while. I took a look today and I think we can get this into Pro 6.5. I’d like to start here too.

ACF is a little different, however I know from another project I was doing, that you can output the forms they show on the admin screen wherever you want. I don’t know what other limitations I might run into, but it’d be great to do. Most of my WP dashboard usage for pages and posts is exclusive to ACF so skipping that back and forth would be nice.
