Thanks for your guidance so far. I did take a look at Memory's wp-content/themes/memory/inc/customizer/customizer.php
and noticed that
$wp_customize->add_control(
'site_description',
array(
'label' => esc_html__( 'Site Description', 'memory' ),
'section' => 'title_tagline',
'type' => 'checkbox',
)
);
is used to add a checkbox inside the Site Identity Panel below the 'title_tagline' inputs. So i guess i can't define this position inside the meta box custom fields definition?
Currently, my field is defined as follows:
$fields[] = [
'title' => __('Copyright', NAME_SPACE),
'id' => PREFIX . 'copyright',
'panel' => '',
'fields' => [
[
'name' => __('Copyright', NAME_SPACE),
'id' => PREFIX . 'copyright',
'type' => 'text',
'label_description' => __('Text after copyright. Appears in the footer.', NAME_SPACE),
],
],
];
