ParticipantI exported a MB field group and imported it to a staging site. The custom attributes I had set for each field seem to have imported. BUT they do not appear when editing the metabox in the staging site.
Then I exported the field group from the dev site to see if maybe the custom attributes were lost/not imported. But I see them, just like in the original json file. Can you check if this is a bug, or otherwise advise why the custom attributes might not be displaying/editable when editing the metabox? Thank you
Json file contents below
{ "$schema": "https://schemas.metabox.io/field-group.json", "autosave": false, "default_hidden": false, "fields": [ { "name": "First Name", "id": "first_name", "type": "text", "required": true, "columns": 6, "limit_type": "character", "crm_field_id": "First_Name", "crm_field_type": "text" }, { "name": "Last Name", "id": "last_name", "type": "text", "required": true, "columns": 6, "limit_type": "character", "crm_field_id": "Last_Name", "crm_field_type": "text" }, { "name": "Email", "id": "email", "type": "email", "required": true, "crm_field_id": "Email", "crm_field_type": "text" }, { "name": "Phone", "id": "phone", "type": "text", "limit_type": "character", "crm_field_id": "Phone", "crm_field_type": "phone" }, { "id": "ref", "type": "hidden" } ], "id": "form-contact", "modified": 1767856129, "post_types": [ "inquiry" ], "title": "Form - Basic Contact" }January 9, 2026 at 1:45 AM #49606pza
ParticipantAlso:
On the staging site I tried saving a new attribute for 1 field, AND overwriting the existing attribute via the MB Builder UI -- which worked ok. But still do not see the custom attributes in the UI for any field.January 9, 2026 at 1:46 AM #49607pza
ParticipantI said custom attributes but it seems I meant "custom settings".

ModeratorHello,
Thank you for reaching out and for your feedback.
I can reproduce the issue on my site and I've escalated this to the development team. The fix for the issue will be include in future updates of Meta Box plugins.
