I am running into in issue with having two taxonomy advanced fields that populate using WordPress categories for a featured content section I am building.

On the very first save, everything is fine. I select my category in one select field and another category in the other. However, when I go back to edit the block, they both somehow get set to the same category. I am able to then re-select and save and it works again until I go back to edit the page.

It appears there is an issue with using multiple taxonomy select boxes that pull from wordpress categories. Somehow on page load they are setting to the same values and I have to re-choose them again and hit save.

Just to clarify the two fields I am referencing are "fallback_category" and "autopopulated_single_category"

<?php
add_filter( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', 'your_prefix_function_name' );

function your_prefix_function_name( $meta_boxes ) {
    $prefix = '';

    $meta_boxes[] = [

Hi,

I do not see any issue with your code on my end. Screen record https://share.getcloudapp.com/7KuAE2Yy

The code which I tested on the local site

add_filter( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', 'your_prefix_function_name' );

function your_prefix_function_name( $meta_boxes ) {
    $prefix = '';

    $meta_boxes[] = [

I am still running into this issue and have an update. It appears the field data is saving correctly to the database but when I go back to the "edit page" the select fields show empty and not the saved value. I hope you can help further troubleshoot this. I have added a few more taxonomy advanced with select advanced fields to the options and the same issue is appearing.

The strange thing is it happens intermittently at times and then for some reason the field will show. This field is within a group type option.

I have attached a screen recording so you can see the issue as it happens.

Hi,

The field Featured Item Category, in your code above, is the field taxonomy. Can you please change it to taxonomy_advanced and re-check this issue?

Thanks. That seems to be the issue.
