    Hello,
    I've been working with MetaBox Group to have a group of 3 cloneable admin fields, and it's working great. I figured out how to have an existing taxomony on the site, called "group_presenters", appear in a dropdown within the MetaBox Group. Here's the code I used in functions.php:
    <div>
    array(
    'name' => 'Speaker',
    'id' => 'group_presenters',
    'title' => 'Group Presenter',
    'type' => 'taxonomy',
    'taxonomy' => 'group_presenters',
    'multiple' => true,
    'ajax' => true,
    </div>

    The dropdown of the existing taxonomy is showing properly in the MetaBox Group on the admin page, and you can choose items from the list, but it's not saving that data once you update the page. Do we have to do something in the database so the data gets saved? What's wrong here? Thank you for your help!

    Thank you - worked perfectly!

    A follow up question. In each cloneable group's data, we have a date for each cloned group, and we want to delete old dates and their associated objects once the date has passed. How can we write a cron job to do that? My programmer is good at that sort of thing but wasn't sure how to do it because it's not a straightforward table due to the cloned elements. How can we accomplish this? Thank you!

    Hi,

    You can follow this documentation to get the subfield value in a group https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/meta-box-group/#getting-sub-field-values

    and this documentation to create a cronjob in WordPress site https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_schedule_event/

    Thank you - could you be more specific with how we can set up a cron job to remove a MetaBox cloned group once the date in it has passed? There are 4 pieces of data in each cloned group, and the first is an upcoming date, so we need the whole cloned group to be removed via a cron job once the date has passed. Thank you for any help you can lend with this.

    Hi, happy new year. I'm submitting this again in case it got lost in the end-of-the-year shuffle. Thank you.

    Hi,

    You can refer to this topic to know how to update the group value or delete a cloneable in a group https://support.metabox.io/topic/replace-array-value-in-group/
    Then contact your developer to create the cronjob.

    Or create a service request here https://metabox.io/contact/
    I will forward it to our development team, estimate the job, and get back to you with a quote.
