Dear toolset, I am making 33 custom post types. Each CPT are using about 30 custom post fields. In image1 (attached) I may use a custom field group in several post types.
How does this work? Are the custom fields treated seperatly, or would this be mixed?
Lets say; post type A have a checked custom field X1, When this field is used also in use with post type B - will the checked field be active also in post type B?
If field groups are treated separately I would save a lot of work....
****
And would the same logic apply to views and forms?
