    I created a group using MB Builder and set it to:

    • collapsible true
    • default_state collapsed

    and added some fields with default values and conditional logic.
    NOTE: my fields work perfectly when not in group

    The result is:

    • The group is not collapsed
    • There is no visual indication that there is a group at all
    • The fields are just displayed as if they are not in a group
    • Default values of fields are not set (aka lost)

    Is there a bug or limitations with the group extension?

    the code:

    Hi Dragan,

    I’ve just checked your code and the functionality works. However, the UI for collapsible group is bad and need to update. Here is my screenshot:

    I’ll update the group to address this issue.

    Thanks for letting me know.

    I’m having similar issues with std values not being added, I’ve updated today
    Meta Box Group to Version 1.2.18 and Metabox to Version 4.16.1.

    Is there any upcoming update that will fix this?

    Hey guys, the appearance and std value bugs are fixed in the latest version. Please update.

    This is great and std is working as expected.

    Not sure if I should open a new topic but now the values from a field inside a group aren’t being copied when a field is in a group. Each clonable group has ‘clone_default’ => true

    Hi Ale, did you set clone_default per sub-field?

    Hi,

    we are experiencing the same issue.

    array(
                    'id' => $this->prefix . '_event_guests',
                    'type' => 'group',
                    'clone'  => true,
                    'sort_clone' => true,
                    'collapsible' => true,
                    'default_state' => 'collapsed',
                    'save_state' => true,
                    'name' => esc_html__('Guests', 'ceps'),
                    'group_title' => array( 'field' => 'name' ),
                    'fields' => array(
                        array(
                            'name' => 'Name',
                            'id'   => 'name',
                            'type' => 'text',
                        ),
                        array(
                            'name' => 'Description',
                            'id'   => 'description',
                            'type' => 'textarea',
                        ),

                    )

    When refreshing the page, the tabs are not collapsed. Only when manually triggering them the state gets saved.

    Latest Version of both plugins installed.

    Adding clone_default for every subfield did the trick, thanks.

    @Anh Tran,

    are you aware of the issue? The state entered inside the array is not parsed into the final data HTML attribute output as far as I can see.

    Hi Matthias, sorry I was looking to solve Ale’s problem. Let me check with the group state.

    Hi, Matthias Nettekoven
    I checked with the code you sent, then found everything working normally, didn’t see the error you described
