Meta Box

Hello team,

It’s been over 10 months since this ticket was opened, and I wanted to follow up to request the addition of a feature that allows saving only the current tab fields when the Save button is clicked.

This feature has become essential, especially when a team of editors (e.g., in a newsroom) is working on the same settings page, where each editor is responsible for fields in a specific tab. Currently, when one editor clicks Save, changes made by another editor in a different tab are overwritten.

Once the feature for opening each tab individually is implemented, the process would be as follows:

• The default tab page will open when the settings page link is visited.
• Only the fields for the current tab will be loaded.
• Only the fields for the current tab will be saved when the Save button is clicked.

This could later be enhanced to lock the tab being edited by another user, similar to the post editing feature:

• The tab label will be grayed out or display the avatar of the editor working on it.
• A popup will allow users to take over the tab, just like how it works with posts.

I understand you have your priorities and roadmap, but I wanted to share these thoughts and suggestions for future releases. I would greatly appreciate it if you could consider these improvements or some of them in your next updates.

Best Regards,

Any updates, please!

A gentle reminder, any expected date to release the fix, please?

Thank you, Peter! But it seems you misunderstood me.

This happens when I create a new term, not when I add a term to the post. The custom taxonomy has a required field, so I'm expecting to get a warning before creating the new term that stops the creation procedure. But what happens is the term is being created even when the required field is blank.

Here's how to reproduce the issue:

Try to create a new custom taxonomy MY_TAXONOMY, then create some fields for it and make one of them required. Then visit this page:

example.com/wp-admin/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=MY_TAXONOMY

Now try to add a new term without filling in the required field; the term will be added directly without warnings or stopping the creation procedure.

Thank you! Please do it ASAP 🙏🏻. It breaks some features here!

You can run this code once the admin page is loaded to make the readonly radio buttons uneditable:

document.querySelectorAll('input[type=radio][readonly]')
        .forEach(item => item.addEventListener('click', e => e.preventDefault()));
