Support › Meta Box Tabs › Tabs shows empty field. Doesn't work
Hi,
I tried to create a tab and got an empty field and tabs under all fields. Look at the video below.

Hello Artur,
In a field group, if you want to use the Tab field, it must be added first then other fields. Please check this screenshot https://imgur.com/Tb0mxsJ
Hi, Yes I did that look at the screen from movie. https://share.cleanshot.com/95PFc8PK
No, the tab field must be added as the first field in the field group. See this screenshot https://imgur.com/RX5yiwA
It's not the same in your screen record.
Peter,
Do you mean chronologically, or sequentially?
Meaning, if I create a bunch of fields, THEN, add some tabs and move my fields around to group them, that won't work? Or are you just saying the very first row in the field set MUST be a tab?
Seems like the whole point of organizing the fields should allow some after thought and reorganization.
I'm adding tabs, putting fields below the tabs...some show up, some do not, some land in the correct tab, and some do not.
Are there any known conflicts with select or taxonomy fields?

Hello Keith,
are you just saying the very first row in the field set MUST be a tab?
Yes. If you want to use the tab field, you have to add it as the first field of the field group. Check this screenshot https://imgur.com/UarfXSu
Thanks Peter. In my first screen shot, the first field IS a tab, and yet, they don't work correctly per the subsequent screen shots. Some tabs are empty, and some fields don't show up at all, despite being located beneath a tab field. I will test this on another installation and see if I can repeat the issue and circle back with any info. Have a good day and thanks for the quick reply.
