Post/Grid Carousel doesn’t show content as excerpt when using Template Element

I have a Kadence Template element that’s replacing single post content for a specific category of posts. The text in the templated posts is added via a Dynamic HTML block using a WYSIWYG ACF field. When I show the posts in a Post/Grid Carousel there is no excerpt shown. There are other posts from different categories in the same Post/Grid Carousel and for those an excerpt generated from the post content is shown (they don’t have a custom excerpt). Am I doing something wrong? Or when using a template element does the WordPress fallback of using the post content as the excerpt not work? (I did try adding some static text to the template and that was not shown in the Post/Grid Carousel either.)

If I add a custom excerpt to the templated post it is displayed in the carousel. Is there a way to set a custom excerpt using an ACF field?
