ParticipantHi,
I have created a custom Settings page which stores the links to my social media profiles. So the settings page has my LinkedIn url, Facebook url and Twitter url. This allows me to store these values in one place and use them all over the website.
I also created a Custom Post type with Custom fields. I'm in the Meta Box Builder to define the necessary custom fields and I would like to add a custom field that provides a dropdown with the social media profile urls stored in the Settings page, so that an author is able to select one of the social media profiles when he is creating or editing the Custom Post type.
How can I define a Custom Field in the Meta Box builder that pulls those available values from the custom Settings Page?
August 26, 2024 at 1:37 AM #46250ParticipantI forgot to mention that I would like to have it as a type of relationship, so that when the value changes of the field on the Settings Page, that then the new value is also used in the Custom Post type.
How can I achieve this?

ModeratorHello Henri,
If you want to use a field value on a settings page as the choice of a select field, you will need to use the code to register the field. Here is an example

rwmb_after_save_field
Please follow the documentation https://docs.metabox.io/actions/rwmb-after-save-field/August 27, 2024 at 12:57 PM #46258ParticipantHello Peter,
Thanks for providing the links to the solution. I’ll try that.
Have a good day 😊
