[Resolved] using field value on multiple posts

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

The issue here is that the user wanted to share a custom field value among multiple posts.

Solution:

Unfortunately no this isn't possible because each custom field is a separate instance in each posts and each requires its own value as they are uniquely identified to a specific post in the database.

So you will need to manually copy the value if you want it to appear in another post.

Tell us what you are trying to do?

Share the value of field on multiple posts

If there is information such as a shared fax number, is it possible to enter the number once, and then display it on multiple posts?

Hi Marina,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

Thanks,
