ParticipantHi,
I’m using the following group configuration:
//GROUPES MEDICAMENTS [ 'type' => 'group', 'tab' => 'medicaments', 'id' => 'liste_medicaments', 'clone' => true, 'add_button' => '+ Ajouter un nouveau médicament', 'sort_clone' => true, 'collapsible' => true, //'save_state' => true, //Whether or not save the collapse/expand state? 'default_state' => 'collapsed', // or expanded (default). 'group_title' => 'Indication(s) {#} {medicament}', 'required' => 1, 'fields' => [ [ 'type' => 'group', 'id' => 'medicaments', 'clone' => true, 'add_button' => '+ Ajouter une ligne de médicament', 'required' => 1, 'fields' => [ [ 'name' => __( 'Médicament', 'earlytrack' ), 'id' => 'medicament', 'type' => 'text', 'columns' => 5, ], [ 'name' => __( 'Dosage', 'earlytrack' ), 'id' => 'dosage', 'type' => 'text', 'columns' => 5, ], [ 'name' => __( 'Code UCD', 'earlytrack' ), 'id' => 'code_ucd', 'type' => 'text', 'columns' => 2, ], ], ], [ 'name' => __( 'Statut', 'earlytrack' ), 'id' => 'statut', 'type' => 'radio', 'options' => [ 'AAP' => __( 'AAP', 'earlytrack' ), 'AAC très précoce' => __( 'AAC très précoce', 'earlytrack' ), 'CPC' => __( 'CPC', 'earlytrack' ), 'Autre' => __( 'Autre', 'earlytrack' ), ], 'columns' => 6, ], //SI AUTRE [ 'name' => __('Préciser le statut (Autre)', 'earlytrack'), 'id' =>'autre_statut', 'type' => 'text', 'columns' => 6, 'visible' => [ 'when' => [ ['statut', '=', 'Autre'], ], ], ], [ 'name' => __( 'Date d\'obtention', 'earlytrack' ), 'id' => 'date_obtention', 'type' => 'html5_date', 'date_type' => 'date', 'columns' => 12, ], [ 'name' => __( 'Indication(s)', 'earlytrack' ), 'id' => 'indications', 'type' => 'textarea', 'columns' => 12, ], [ 'name' => __( 'Nombre annuel de visites de suivi prévu au PUT', 'earlytrack' ), 'desc' => __( 'et autres indications, si nécessaire', 'earlytrack' ), 'id' => 'nombre_visites', 'type' => 'textarea', 'columns' => 6, ], [ 'name' => __( 'Type de suivi', 'earlytrack' ), 'id' => 'type_suivi', 'type' => 'radio', 'options' => [ 200 => __( 'Modéré (≤ 2 visites)', 'earlytrack' ), 500 => __( 'Soutenu (≥ 3 visites)', 'earlytrack' ), ], 'columns' => 6, ], ], 'std' => get_post_meta( $nom_etude, 'liste_medicaments', true ) ?: [], ],As you can see on the last line, I’m setting the std value from a get_post_meta() call, coming from another frontend form, directly on the liste_medicaments group. (For context,
$nom_etudeis populated from$_GET['nom_etude']and is working correctly with other forms.)The top-level
stdis applied as expected (it creates the correct number of liste_medicaments clones based on the initial form), but the nested groupmedicamentsinsideliste_medicamentsis no longer populated with the saved data.This used to work fine with Meta Box AIO v2, but it stopped working from v3.0.1 onward. I waited for newer releases in case it was a bug, but even with v3.3.4 the behaviour is still the same.
Could you please help me understand whether this is a regression, a breaking change in how
stdworks with nested/cloneable groups, or if there’s now a different recommended way to pre-populate a nested group from get_post_meta()?November 27, 2025 at 11:03 PM #49427Peter
ModeratorHello Kevin,
Thanks for reaching out.
Can you please print out the value from this code
get_post_meta( $nom_etude, 'liste_medicaments', true ) ?: []? I want to check if it has the correct structure as the field settings. -
