    Hi,

    For my custom post type, I set title auto generated by the metabox fields. Everything works fine after saving the post the title is generated by metabox field but its not working if I do quick edit or bulk edit. It will show no title after bulk update or quick update. It only works if I open the single post and update it there.

    Here is my code.

    <div>function set_leasing_meta_title( $data , $postarr ) {
  if($data['post_type'] == 'leasing') {
      
      if($_POST['type_of_leasing'] == 'Shop Spaces') {
          
          $title = $_POST['shop_station'] . ' ' . $_POST['shop_unit'];
          
      } else {
          
          $title = $_POST['event_station'] . ' ' . $_POST['event_unit'];
          
      }
      
    $post_slug = sanitize_title_with_dashes ($title,'','save');
    $post_slugsan = sanitize_title($post_slug);
    $data['post_title'] = $title;
    $data['post_name'] = $post_slugsan;
      
  }
  return $data;
}

add_filter( 'wp_insert_post_data' , 'set_leasing_meta_title' , '500', 2 );</div>

    Hi,

    Because in the Quick Edit mode or Bulk Edit, the global variable $_POST does not store any value. You can move the variable $data inside the if condition to make sure the global variable stores value. For example:

    function set_leasing_meta_title( $data , $postarr ) {
  if($data['post_type'] == 'leasing') {
      if($_POST['type_of_leasing'] == 'Shop Spaces') {
          $title = $_POST['shop_station'] . ' ' . $_POST['shop_unit'];
          $post_slug = sanitize_title_with_dashes ($title,'','save');
          $post_slugsan = sanitize_title($post_slug);
          $data['post_title'] = $title;
          $data['post_name'] = $post_slugsan;          
      }
  }
  return $data;
}

    I tried using this get_post_meta insted of $_POST. when I quick edit it returns the correct title but the problem is I need to uodate it twice to generate the correct title.

    Hi,

    You can follow these topics to update the post title by custom field value with the meta box hook rwmb_{$meta_box_id}_after_save_post
