Hi everyone @Metabox.io,

Hope you're fine,

I was wondering if there's any way to create a set of custom fields, and call this set to a new metabox.

Here's an example :

I've created a first metabox called 'Identification' with the following fields :
- Name : text
- Surname : text
- Age : number
- Gender : radio

Waht i want to achieve is to call this set to a new metabox called "information", like this
- Date : date
- Place : text
- Identification : the set i've created
- another info : text
etc ...

Is this possible within MB builder ?
it would be an awesome features when you have cross information between multiple posts.

Have a nice day,
KL

hi again,

i get to something with custom_html field and a callback, but it doesn't save anything at all.

here's my callback for custom html :
```
function my_custom_callback_metabox(){
    $meta_box_registry = rwmb_get_registry( 'meta_box' );
    $meta_box = $meta_box_registry->get( 'the_meta_box_i_callback' );

    //render the form
    return $meta_box->show();
}
```
if any of you have a clue,
thanks again and have a nice day !

Hi,

figured it out, here's the function, if anyone need it. :
```
function my_custom_callback_metabox( $saved, $field ){
    $added_registry = rwmb_get_registry( 'meta_box' );
    $added_meta_box = $added_registry->get( 'metabox_id' );

    $post_id = get_the_ID();
    $added_meta_box->object_id = $post_id;
    $added_meta_box->saved = $saved;

    return $added_meta_box->show();
}
```
I will pack it soon in a new field type, and repost it here. could be a great update !

Hello,

Currently, it's not possible with the builder. But it's an interesting idea. I will forward this topic to the development team to consider implementing a feature to support a set of fields.

Hello Peter,

Thanks for your answer,

You should check the link i provided : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VhqhgDx9Qia2_gJrMlpVmtVgyTdsTe4g/view?usp=drive_link

it's packed and ready to use :), all you have to do it's include it in functions.php

A new field type called "include another mb" (include_mb) appears on builder (could be used in pure php as well), and provide a simple way to include a metabox to another metabox by letting you choose wich metabox you would like to include.

BTW, it will need some improvements, so i let you forward this to the MB team,
a simple mention if you choose to integrate it would be a nice move 🙂

Happy to help,

have a nice day,
KL
