    Hi there,

    Two questions in this attachment here:
    https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/c262crqr398gavpx1qnpx/CleanShot-2024-05-16-at-12.01.29-2x.png?rlkey=yna2wgtzfp5l9qejz1ctr3ma2&dl=0

    For question 1 I have a feeling this thread touches on an answer but I'm still unclear if this is what I'm trying to do. Can what I want to do be set with Meta Box AIO

    For question 2 it seems like it should be a fairly straightforward answer but I'm not finding a way to get this to work.

    Thank you,

    For anyone seeing this, I got question 2 figured out.

    I had to put in the 'mb_' followed by the Meta Box Settings page ID, followed by the Custom Field Group ID, followed by the Custom Field ID.

    In my case
    {mb_sweeps-settings_dates_start_date:m/d/Y}

    And the ':' followed by the date format I wanted to display on the front end.

    Hope others might find this helpful if you come across a similar need.👍

    Hello,

    For the first question, I think you don't need to setup a complicated field. Just create a select field with 4 choices. In the template, you can create a if statement to output the setting page field value based on the post field value. Like this:

    if ( post_field_value == something ) {
    echo settings_page_field_value;
}

    Hi @peter can this be set up with Meta Box AIO views? Or does it need to be set up with a template in another way? If another way can you point me in the right direction, please?

    Thank you

    Hello,

    No, it isn't possible to setup the code with the builder. You have to add the code in a template file. If you cannot complete the task, we offer a customization service with an extra fee. Please contact us here for more details https://metabox.io/contact/
