ParticipantThanks Peter. I had a feeling someone would've run into this as well. But the search didn't provide this result. Something worth pinning maybe.

ParticipantIt's been 2 years..
I hope this helps someone with a similar use case to mine - using cloneable fields with text fields.
I've created a CPT with a cloneable text field to add phone numbers. And settled on using WP All Import Pro to import my CSV, instead of WP Ultimate CSV Importer (will explain why after this).
I found a snippet in WPAI's documentation to "Convert Comma-separated List into Serialized Array" (https://www.wpallimport.com/documentation/code-snippets/#comma-separated-data-to-serialized-array) and this code works too by replcing the comma with a pipe character.
So in my CSV with the column with multiple phone numbers, I separated each of it with a pipe character.
In WPAI, imported the CSV, configured my Custom Field, followed the snippet, replaced the comma with pipe character in the Function Editor, ran the import and lo-behold it worked!
Now, why didn't I use the other importing plugin?
- Sorely lacking in documentation
- Could not figure out how to map my taxonomies with sub-categories from documentation
- Could not figure out how to write the needed Header Manipulation from documentation
In conclusion, due to the lack of documentation, I just couldn't use that plugin.

ParticipantHey Long, I managed to retrieve the value after resetting my WordPress. Not sure what happened there.
I've got 1 last question..
I read here (https://docs.metabox.io/fields/select/) that Select will return the Value of the field. Is there a way to display the Label in Elementor?
Danny
ParticipantUnfortunately, linked post wasn't helpful. I'm familiar with retrieving the common User Info via Elementor Pro. And when I tried to view your screen recording in the quoted post, it tells me; This item has exceeded its view limit!
Anyway.. here's a screenshot of the meta key I'm asking about; https://imgur.com/a/OhBNkEr
I've tried entering my field ID as you mentioned in another thread (https://support.metabox.io/topic/meta-field-key-without-shortcode/#post-24727). But it's still not retrieving the Select field's value or label.
If this helps, here's the generated code from my field group via MB builder:
<?php add_filter( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', 'your_prefix_function_name' ); function your_prefix_function_name( $meta_boxes ) { $prefix = ''; $meta_boxes[] = [ 'title' => __( 'Applicant status', 'your-text-domain' ), 'id' => 'applicant-status-mb', 'type' => 'user', 'fields' => [ [ 'name' => __( 'Status', 'your-text-domain' ), 'id' => $prefix . 'applicant_status_mb', 'type' => 'select', 'options' => [ 'pending' => __( 'Pending documents', 'your-text-domain' ), 'review' => __( 'In review', 'your-text-domain' ), 'processing' => __( 'Processing', 'your-text-domain' ), 'improve' => __( 'To improve', 'your-text-domain' ), 'complete' => __( 'Completed', 'your-text-domain' ), ], ], ], ]; return $meta_boxes; }Danny
ParticipantI see.
Well, I've got Elementor Pro and I've installed the MB integrator plugin.
Now I'm trying to get the status by using User Info (User Meta).
For the meta key, I've tried using both Field ID and Field Group ID, but I still can't pull the data in Elementor.
Is the meta key something else?
Danny
ParticipantHmm.. seems like Metabox isn't as simple as I would've thought it to be for a non-programmer. (-_-||) And most of the documentation is very code driven.
Guess I'd either shelf this, or take a much longer time wrapping my head around it.
Danny
ParticipantHey Long, thank you for responding.
Hmm.. if object_id is meant to retrieve the user ID, then this shortcode may not be usable. Because each user profile will have its own status reflected.
Secondly, I tried using this
[rwmb_meta id="status" object_id="2" object_type="user"]But the status value did not output when user_id=2 viewed the page with the shortcode.
