In Site Defaults, the "From Field" dropdown shows other site default fields. If you want to pick a collection/taxonomy field, you'll need to override it in Section Defaults.

You need to publish the SEO Pro config file and specify an asset container:

'assets' => [
    'container' => 'assets',
    // ...
],

Thanks for the explanation. So, if I have multiple collections and all of them have a field called meta_description, I need to override it separately in the Section Defaults of each collection?

I can't choose the handle meta_description in SEO Pro Site Defaults?

In V5 I could just write meta_description, that's why I wondering myself.

Never mind, I see the issue now.

• "From Field" in site defaults should let you type in a field handle. We only want the dropdown when editing entries & terms.
• "Custom" should be used if you want to set a default image using the assets fieldtype (hence the "Missing asset container" error).
