Hi, I have created custom field types (dropdown) and want to use the entries on a script in another plugin (functions.php) . How can I select the fields values and use this in my custom plugin module ? I created a custom field from Toolset > Custom Fields. Please see below image for further info. Thanks

Hi Mohamed,

Thank you for getting in touch.

It won't be possible to pull this list directly as it is stored in the wp_options table inside the database and there isn't an API available to pull the list from there.

We can only pull the selected value on a custom post type when viewing a post but not the entire list as it is stored in the field options.

Thanks,
Shane
