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

ModeratorHi Greg,
You can use the field
taxonomyand set the default term with the settingstdas well. Refer to this topic https://support.metabox.io/topic/checkbox-checked-by-default-in-field-group/April 3, 2022 at 9:16 AM #35431ParticipantThat just won't work. Setting a custom field value is not the same as assigning a post to a term.

April 4, 2022 at 3:14 PM #35445ModeratorHi 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
April 6, 2022 at 12:43 AM #35482ParticipantGoing 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.

register_taxonomy()is missing thedefault_termoption. This should be a field on the custom taxonomy page. -
