I am playing with a few ways to solve a problem and one involves using repeating single line and number fields. For the number fields (which will hold a 16-digit number) I added a default value of "0000000000000000" but when you click the little plus to add another line it doesn't have the default value.

Hello, I see the issue you have described and I'm able to replicate it in a local test site. I am escalating this to my 2nd tier support team for additional investigation, because the behavior here seems different from the behavior in wp-admin. In the admin side, the default value is applied to new field instances as expected. I'll let you know what I find out after escalating the problem.

Hi Christian, any updates on this?

Hi Mike,

Christian is currently on vacation, however I checked on the escalated thread for you. It would appear that the issue has been escalated to our development team.

I'm not seeing where the developers have made a comment on the issue as yet. Currently the latest is that the team is aware of the issue at hand.

Thanks,
Shane

Thanks, is there any indication as to how long this sort of thing takes? Days, weeks, months?

[Christian Cox]

There is no indication at the moment, so I would guess in the months range as opposed to the days or weeks range. Development cycles typically last around a month, so if an issue is not slated for the current development cycle it will probably not be addressed within 4 weeks. Since the issue has not yet been slated for the current development cycle, I would suspect at least that long unless the developers pick it up and add it to the current cycle. If that happens, I will update the ticket here and let you know.

Ah, okay, thanks! I look forward to hearing about its progress!

Thanks for your help so far.
