    Hi there,

    I'm not sure if this can be achieved so I'm checking in with support. Here's what I'm trying to accomplish: I want to create a custom field category where I can go in and type in the menu item name and on the right choose a menu item from a dropdown. So basically I want to create my own menu system using Meta Box. Can this be accomplished?

    Hi Solace,

    With the extension MB Custom Post Type & Custom Taxonomy, you can create a custom taxonomy for your post type and add it to the menu as well. Please find it here https://wordpress.org/plugins/mb-custom-post-type/
    If you want to add the custom field to the menu item, currently it is not possible with Meta Box.

    Thanks for your response. I think I did not communicate what I'm trying to accomplish properly. WordPress has Pages, right? I want to create custom fields in Meta Box where I can retrieve those pages via drop down mechanism. So the left field can be "Custom Page Name (text Field)" and on the right, a dropdown with all the "Pages" in WordPress. Does this make sense?

    Hi,

    Thanks for your additional information.

    Yes, you can use the field post with the post type Page to create a dropdown field with all pages. Please read more on the documentation https://docs.metabox.io/fields/post/
