We tend to put a lot of text in the Introtext field

This is typical amount, although some have two or three times as much:

Political Choice Matters investigates the extent to which class and religion influence party choice in contemporary democracies. Rather than the commonly-assumed process in which a weakening of social boundaries leads to declining social divisions in political preferences, this book's primary message is that the supply of choices by parties influences the extent of such divisions: hence, political choice matters.

Readership: Scholars and students of political science, political sociology, comparative politics, and electoral studies.

I've just checked with the main developer, as we use Seblod to create many items. When I looked at the database and the correct seblod table, I saw that it is extracting all the data there, whatever the column title, and displaying it. Had to find a few odd items that used less commonly used fields to be sure.

So it is displaying every column's content if the intro text limit is greater than zero, and just the title as a link and the date if limit introtext is zero. I assume it is then looking for the introtext tag to limit that and just displaying all fields it doesn't know about.

I suspect there might not be a solution to this.

Mmm not sure how seblod work at the background, but MiniFP queries com_content table fields not Seblod table. So you might want to check the com_content introtext field to make sure article content is there.
