ParticipantI have a field defined as this:
'fields' => [ [ 'id' => 'vpp_post', 'type' => 'post', 'name' => 'Post or Page?', 'post_type' => ['post','page','attachment'], ], ],It works well to search posts and pages, but not attachments/media. My Media Library may be considered large, as it is over 1500 items and growing if that matters. Is there any way to debug this or did I get something wrong in post_type? I got attachment from the Online Generator at https://metabox.io/online-generator/ and selecting "Post" and changing the Post types to media. The docs at https://docs.metabox.io/fields/post/#enabledisable-ajax-requests seem to indicate that can be an array and that works great for posts and pages but I'm really hopeful to have all 3 for this block.
Thanks.

ModeratorHello Andrew,
I also see that issue on my site and I've escalated this issue to the development team to fix it in the next update of the Meta Box plugin.
Thank you.
November 25, 2023 at 1:24 AM #43914ParticipantThanks. I see it does work when I add query_args and post_status of inherit since Media files use Inherit instead of Publish by default. This seems to get me what I want as it looks like the WP_Query loop knows to only get the most recent Post/Page and not all the inherited revisions.
'fields' => [ [ 'id' => 'vpp_post', 'type' => 'post', 'name' => 'Post or Page?', 'post_type' => ['post','page','attachment'], 'field_type' => 'select_advanced', 'query_args' => [ 'post_status' => ['publish','inherit'], 'posts_per_page' => - 1, ], ], ],I'm not sure if updating the code to work without the query_args is the right answer, or updating the docs, but I'll let you and the devs work that out 🙂
Thanks again for taking a look!

Thanks for sharing the information.
Following the WordPress documentation, the attachment post (media) could be considered a child of a post so you can use the post_status
inheritoranyto get the attachment posts.
https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_children/
https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/post-status/I will inform the development team to update the doc for this case.
