    I'm doing this through MB Views, so using the mb. format for the following PHP commands.

    Let me start by clarifying a couple things, to save time:
    - the answer is not in this group (at least it is not findable).
    - there is a post that says this can be done using rwmb_get_field_settings() but that does not do what I need (it does not return the current saved value of fields).

    Via a MetaBox View, I can get the current field label and / or value using rwmb_the_value() or rwmb_get_the_value and post ID.

    However, this does not work if the field is within a group.

    We can call this a bug, as there is no reason the field ID should not be accessible directly, whether or not it is part of a group. Otherwise using groups is not really worthwhile (which would be a shame as they are good for organisation).

    Perhaps the answer to this question can also be added to the rwmb_the_value() / rwmb_get_the_value() documentation.

    Thanks

    Hi Mike,

    Is that the label of a select field (value => Label)? You can access it via the label property like this {{ post.group.select.label }}

    Or do you mean the field name?

    [
    'name'    => __( 'Select', 'your-text-domain' ), // here
    'id'      => $prefix . 'select',
    'type'    => 'select',
    'options' => [
        'a' => __( 'A', 'your-text-domain' ),
        'b' => __( 'B', 'your-text-domain' ),
        'c' => __( 'C', 'your-text-domain' ),
    ],
],
