I created a custom field group for my Products post type. One of the fields is a WYSIWYG. I put content in the default value field. I assumed that his would display if not content was put into the field on a product. This is not how it appears to be working. I have to put the content in the field on the product. Should it be displaying the default value if I do not enter anything into the field on the product?

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

The 'default value' is not a fallback or a replacement for an 'empty/no value'. Think of it as an initial value.

When you'll start adding a new post/product through the admin editor or a front-end form, the default value will be pre-filled in the corresponding filed.

regards,
Waqar
