    Hi there!

    I need to create multiple frontend forms that share the same custom fields. I have run a couple of tests with identical setup:

    Test 1:

    <?php
    add_filter( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', 'your_prefix_function_name' );
    
    function your_prefix_function_name( $meta_boxes ) {
        $prefix = '';
    
        $meta_boxes[] = [
            'title'      => __( 'Test 1', 'your-text-domain' ),
            'id'         => 'test_form_1',
            'post_types' => ['research'],
            'fields'     => [
                [
                    'name' => __( 'Title', 'your-text-domain' ),
                    'id'   => $prefix . 'post_title',
                    'type' => 'text',
                ],
                [
                    'name'   => __( 'A cloneable value', 'your-text-domain' ),
                    'id'     => $prefix . 'a_cloneable_value',
                    'type'   => 'group',
                    'fields' => [
                        [
                            'name' => __( 'Option 1', 'your-text-domain' ),
                            'id'   => $prefix . 'option_1',
                            'type' => 'text',
                        ],
                        [
                            'name'   => __( 'Nested', 'your-text-domain' ),
                            'id'     => $prefix . 'nested ',
                            'type'   => 'group',
                            'clone'  => true,
                            'fields' => [
                                [
                                    'name' => __( 'Option 2', 'your-text-domain' ),
                                    'id'   => $prefix . 'option_2',
                                    'type' => 'text',
                                ],
                            ],
                        ],
                    ],
                ],
            ],
        ];
    
        return $meta_boxes;
    }

    Test 2:

    <?php
    add_filter( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', 'your_prefix_function_name' );
    
    function your_prefix_function_name( $meta_boxes ) {
        $prefix = '';
    
        $meta_boxes[] = [
            'title'      => __( 'Test 2', 'your-text-domain' ),
            'id'         => 'test_form_2',
            'post_types' => ['research'],
            'fields'     => [
                [
                    'name' => __( 'Title', 'your-text-domain' ),
                    'id'   => $prefix . 'post_title',
                    'type' => 'text',
                ],
                [
                    'name'   => __( 'A cloneable value', 'your-text-domain' ),
                    'id'     => $prefix . 'a_cloneable_value',
                    'type'   => 'group',
                    'fields' => [
                        [
                            'name' => __( 'Text', 'your-text-domain' ),
                            'id'   => $prefix . 'option_1',
                            'type' => 'text',
                        ],
                        [
                            'name'   => __( 'Group', 'your-text-domain' ),
                            'id'     => $prefix . 'nested',
                            'type'   => 'group',
                            'clone'  => true,
                            'fields' => [
                                [
                                    'name' => __( 'Text', 'your-text-domain' ),
                                    'id'   => $prefix . 'option_2',
                                    'type' => 'text',
                                ],
                            ],
                        ],
                    ],
                ],
            ],
        ];
    
        return $meta_boxes;
    }

    But my issue is that the nested field values are not saved across the form. So the option_2 saves in one form but does not save / update in the other. I tried changing the IDs incase of a conflict. Is this a bug or something I am doing wrong? Wanting to understand before going ahead and building a lot of form duplicates!

    Many thanks,
    Yasmine

    And just incase it matters - option_1 value shows

    You can close this - there was a space after the id nested.

    I changed the option_2 ID but not the group - until now..

    Think it would be useful if IDs were trimmed of white space upon save though!
