    Hi,

    Generating checkbox list choices with callback, but all other field values are returned false in the function I defined.
    This is the checkbox list used in the site settings page.

    Is it possible to get the stored values of the other fields?

    Hello Yumiko,

    Can you please share more details of the issue on your site? Because I don't know what exactly the issue is. Let me know the callback function, other field values, settings page ... and screenshots of them.

    Hi Peter,

    The test code is as follows

    What we want to achieve
    * Generate the contents of the checkbox list in the callback of test_B depending on the status of the checkbox in test_A.

    Defects
    * When the value of test_A is retrieved in the callback of test_B, it is always false as well.

    
<?php
add_filter( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', 'example' );

function example( $meta_boxes ) {
    $prefix = '';

    $meta_boxes[] = [
        'title'          => __( 'test field group', 'example-domain' ),
        'id'             => 'test1',
        'settings_pages' => ['custom-options'],
        'fields'         => [
            [
                'name'              => __( 'test A', 'example-domain' ),
                'id'                => $prefix . 'test_a',

    Hello,

    Please ensure the option name is added to the helper function, and the separator should be underscore instead of dash. For example custom_options

    
$value_a = rwmb_meta( 'test_A', array( 'object_type' => 'setting' ), 'custom_options' );

    Following the documentation https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/mb-settings-page/#using-code

    After you save the field test_a value, the $optionsA will be returned.

    Hi,

    The defect is not related to the name of the settings ID.
    It is the correct setting in my code.

    I am specifying Metabox for the Settings page configured in the code below.

    
define( 'SETTINGS_OPTION_NAME', 'custom-options' );
function com_options_page( $settings_pages ) {
	$settings_pages[] = array(
		'id'          => SETTINGS_OPTION_NAME,
		'option_name' => SETTINGS_OPTION_NAME,
		'menu_title'  => 'サイト設定',
		'icon_url'    => 'dashicons-edit',
		'style'       => 'no-boxes',
		'columns'     => 1,
		'position'    => 2,
	);
	return $settings_pages;
}
add_filter( 'mb_settings_pages', 'com_options_page' );

    I make sure that $value_a is always false.
    Can you please confirm the behavior of this bug?

    Hello,

    I understand the issue. It is related to this topic https://support.metabox.io/topic/dynamically-populate-the-options-of-a-select-custom-field-base-on-global-cf/

    you need to use the WordPress function get_option() to get the settings page value (like the theme option) when creating the custom field. At this point, the helper function rwmb_meta() doesn't work.

    Here is an example

    function test_function() {
    $options = get_option( 'custom-options' );
    $value_a = $options['test_a'];

    $optionsA = array(
        '1' => 'Apple',
        '2' => 'Orange'
    );

    $optionsB = array(
        '3' => 'Cat',
        '4' => 'Dog'
    );

    return $value_a ? $optionsA : $optionsB;
}

    If you use the builder, you will need to re-update the field group to update the choice for the field test_b.

    Hi peter,

    It could be obtained with get_options().
    Thank you for sharing this information.

    It would be helpful if you could also mention in the document that rwmb_meta() is not available in callback.

    Thanks again.
