To store the questions and answers, we will use custom fields and create them with Meta Box plugin.
I will create a group of fields as follows:
Name | Type | Settings |
Sets of Questions | Group | Set this group be cloneable |
Questions (subfield) | Text | - |
Answers (subfield) | Text | - |

Note that we use the cloneable fields here to have more places to save more than one couple of questions and answers.

I choose the field labeled Question for the Question section. Do the same for the Answer section.

Note that besides using Meta Box's custom fields, you can select default fields or enter questions and answers manually.
Then, move to the Location tab to set where the FAQ schema is for.
In the Type section, I choose Singular to apply the schema for a FAQ page.

In the event you want to apply the schema to other locations, Slim SEO Schema has more options to set such as Archive and Code for you to choose from.

Choose the FAQ page that you want to display and edit it with Oxygen.

You can easily create and set up FAQ schema using the Pro Accordion component of OxyEtras with Oxygen Builder and Meta Box.
Add the Pro Accordion component. Since I used Meta Box custom fields to display the FAQ schema information, I chose Accordion - Dynamic Items (Meta Box) in the Accordion Type section.

In the Dynamic Data section, you can input the value to show the questions and answers.
The Question and Answer fields are the subfields of the cloneable field group named Sets of Questions. So, in the Cloneable group field box, I chose sets_of_questions which is the ID of the group field.
To display the questions, I input the ID of the Question field in the Header text field box.
For the answers, I input the ID of the Answer field as well and set it in the Content field box.

Then, scroll down to the Advanced section.

Choose Enable in the FAQ schema markup box to display the FAQ schema for the content.

Finally, choose Apply Params to apply and end the setup.
