For our tour business we have included items and excluded items - I have these working and displaying for events - that is great - I have a simple text field that is repeatable for each of these lists - the lists for a 'new event' start blank
But what I want to do is to have the list of repeated items for these two categories populated with some default items from the start - these defaults may be overwritten or removed - but this is a starting point for any new event
For example - let's consider excluded items - most of our events have 'flights', 'visas', 'alcoholic drink's and 'any other activities not specifically mentioned on the itinerary' but some do not - say they are based in the UK - our home country - so do not need the flight and visas element - but I would like to have excluded items prepopulated with 'flights', 'visas', 'alcoholic drink's and 'any other activities not specifically mentioned on the itinerary' - the admin could then remove items that are not applicable - or add new items to this list
Included items is a similar scenario - but with different lists of items
Hi, it's not currently possible to define multiple default values for a repeating field in a new post, unfortunately. The only way I can think of to accomplish this in wp-admin is to create a new post that includes the options you want as defaults, and save it as a Draft. Then use the "Duplicate" function from the post list screen to create a clone of this template any time you want to create a new Post.
Ah pants - possible in the new version of repeated fields by any chance?
As I understand it, no. Even with a group of repeating fields in the new system, a single field in that group can only be predefined with a single default value. You must manually add that first repeating field group to a new post...it won't be created automatically for you. So I'm afraid the upcoming release won't solve this problem for you - it won't be possible to preselect these options in wp-admin effectively.
