Unable to find the template “seo/_seo/fieldtype”.

I've definitely had issues in the past where a custom field doesn't get created properly - I wasn't sure at the time if it was Craft or the plugin. I'll close this for now, and at least the 'fix' is here if someone has a similar issue. Thanks again.

Okay I seem to have fixed this by changing the field type to Plain text, saving it, and then to SEO again.

Thanks for the writeup and update @gleerman. Do you think we can put this error down to something not executing properly/fully when the filed was first created, or do you feel its' something that warrants further investigation on our side?

@alexjcollins I don't know what went wrong, honestly. The setup options in the CP are limited, so I don't think I misconfigured something. Either it was indeed a bug under the hood upon the SEO field creation, or it might be something more fundamental – even in Craft CMS – geven that this $roots object was empty and not showing any path towards my installed plugins. Glad I got it solved, and the trick to change types might be helpful to others, but the root cause of the issue remains unknown.
