    The free CPT UI has an option to set the default custom taxonomy term for new posts. Is this missing from the paid Meta Box?

    Hi Greg,

    You can use the field taxonomy and set the default term with the setting std as well. Refer to this topic https://support.metabox.io/topic/checkbox-checked-by-default-in-field-group/

    That just won't work. Setting a custom field value is not the same as assigning a post to a term.

    Hi Greg,

    The option to set the default term for new posts is not available when you use the WP function register_post_type() which the plugin MB Custom Post Type does the same.

    The field taxonomy set the post terms so you can use it to set a default value (term) after saving the post.

    Or you can use custom code to do that, refer to this topic https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66349128/assign-default-taxonomy-term-to-custom-post-type-when-new-post-created

    Going back to my original question: The free CPT UI has an option to set the default custom taxonomy term for new posts. Is this missing from the paid Meta Box?

    The answer is yes, the paid Meta Box does not have this feature that is in the free CPT UI.

    Meta Box's implementation of register_taxonomy() is missing the default_term option. This should be a field on the custom taxonomy page.
