Hello, I have a custom field, wpcf-archive, that 'archives' certain posts. I use it to filter them out from most search results on site, and would like to also exclude them from my sitemaps. Is there some way of automatically setting Yoasts's custom field, '_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex' to 1 when 'wpcf-archive' is set to 1? Thank you

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - there is no such native feature available to set yoast's noindex flaf to 1. Maybe you can try to save the meta key '_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex' to 1 while you add/edit your post based on your field 'wpcf-archive'.
