To put it simply first,
Using Submission Form, I would like to post-list only events that are 'in progress' with the toggle button in progress/terminated.

My way of setting it up

Post Type: event-post
Post > Custom Fields ID: event_state (on / off)

Submission Form > Custom Fields > post ID: participation
- POST TYPES: Event (event-post)
- QUERY ARGS: (my attempt)
key | value
mb_event-post_event_state | 1
event_state | 1
event_state | on

What am I doing wrong?
Please tell me how to set it up.
Thank you.

Hello,

You can follow the WordPress documentation to query posts by custom field value and correct the field ID, value that is saved to the database in the code.

For example:
```
    'query_args'  => [
        'meta_key' => 'event_state',
        'meta_value' => 'on',
    ],
```

Isn't this how you set it?
This is how I tried, and the post is not filtered.

Hello,

If you use the builder, you need to add the key - value to the query args instead of value - value. Please check this screenshot https://imgur.com/IkUEn0v

I set 'meta_value' to 'on', but it didn't work.

It's been resolved.
I set meta_value > 1 and it worked out!
Thank you.
