Meta Box

That worked for me after some edits.

Thank you for your reply and answer.

You are clear that I am asking how to duplicate this WITHOUT "Dashboard" yes?

I find it really hard to believe that there is not a way with Metabox to accomplish this when this would be a very common requirement for a web based app to expose all posts of a type to a group identified by Role/capability.

This is VERY easy and most common to do in ACF.

Ok, on the "Switch Fields" issue, I will look at the switch fields again but I think if this is an issue, it should cast an error or get filtered in the process, but not just "do nothing". It also would have been nice to see your solution without having to ask again?

Regarding the frontend dashboard, we've had a note for this case "To let users view and edit their submitted posts ...", please read more here
https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/mb-frontend-submission/#user-posts-dashboard

Yes I read that too. Good that the dev team might consider it because in ACF this is a non issue - easy to do.

You seem to miss questions I ask previously, (I am not sure why), so I will ask this one again. (I'm willing to break up questions into their own threads if that's what it takes?) Maybe I am asking too much in the same thread and in your rush, you are missing my questions?

Is there way for me to construct what I need in MB to achieve my goal? until the MB devs make this possible with "Dashboard"?

If so, what resources can you point me to to accomplish this? I can't possibly be the only person wanting to do this right? It says in the documentation that it is but it does not say how it's done in MB. No working example.

It looks like the Dashboard is "locked" into managing only a specific user's posts as you said. I tried a User Role editor and no change.

Couldn't this be tweaked somehow? I'm trying to make this work but since you don't seem to have documentation to generate this myself with role based permissions... Where would I look in the docs to get to create my own version based on roles?

If I want to create a CPT, form and dashboard that a certain level user all of them can use?

When I view the page with the form, no delete button. I also have a page with the "Dashboard" that refers to the SAME page form and when I use the edit pencil from there, the record shows with the data (most of it - see below) and the "Delete" button shows there. Huh!?

Also, some of the fields are not working like the "Switch" fields don't keep there settings. Why? When I go to the back end they are not being saved as well. They are defaulting to a greyed out "off" position - even when I set to required and default to "On".

Do you see in my example I have set ajax="true" in my shortcode above? I am not seeing the delete button. Should it be ajax=true (without the quotes)?

I would request that your documentation have a lot more examples including some working shortcodes with the parameters being used and a screen shot of the output.
