Meta Box

Hi Peter, thank you for the response! I really do believe this should be a feature. Maybe a "remove field value when hidden" or something like that. When building workflows that are reliant on clean data, this causes a lot of issues.

Hi Peter, thank you for letting me know! Is there a REST API endpoint that we can use to accomplish this?

For now I added logic to my callback function to check if the current page is_admin() and if the page is the edit/new page for the post type that uses the field.

I feel like Meta Box should include those checks though. 🙂

Hi Peter! Thanks for the response!

I'm actually trying to create a template, and lock the meta-box/test block and prevent it from being removed, but allow other blocks to be added.

I looked into individual blocking, but wasn't able to get it working: https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/reference-guides/block-api/block-templates/#individual-block-locking

add_action( 'init', 'your_prefix_register_post_type' );
function your_prefix_register_post_type() {
...
        'template' => array(
            array( 'core/paragraph' ),
            // Allow a Paragraph block to be moved or removed.
            array( 'meta-box/test', array(
                'placeholder' => 'Add Description...',
                // "template_lock" => 'all',
                'lock' => array(
                    'move'   => true,
                    'remove' => true,
                ),
            ) ),
        ),
...

Let me know if you have a solution. Thank you!

Good Morning! Do you know if this enhancement (ability to save in post_meta from a block) was included in MB Builder 4? https://metabox.io/introducing-meta-box-builder-4/

Hello! Just checking in for an update. Happy new year!

Hello! Removing the $prefix variable did allow the content to be saved! Any tips on the code needed to save to post meta? Thanks in advance!

Thank you!! That will be awesome! Any idea on the ETA for the feature?

In the interim, do you know why my block isn't saving data (1), and for (2), if there is a custom code workaround to save the block to post meta?
