Hi

I am looking to clone a front end form but from my understanding this only created a shallow copy of the form (no event handlers).

const dcCommentFormClone = metaboxForm.cloneNode(true);

I was wondering does metabox front end JS use event delegation to handle click events?

Thanks

Nick

Hi Nick,

Meta Box does not support cloning the frontend form of MB Frontend Submission. You can do something when cloning custom fields with the trigger events. Please read more here https://github.com/wpmetabox/meta-box/blob/master/js/clone.js#L122-L151

Hi Long,

Ok thanks for clarifying. I can work around this with the custom fields trigger events.

Thanks
