    Hi,

    Trying to use: rwmb_{$field_id}_after_save_field

    field:

            array(
          'name'  => 'Select Level',
          'id'    => self::$prefix . 'level',
          'type'  => 'select',
          'placeholder' => 'Please select',
          'options' => $select
        ),

    $prefix = 'property'

    action not working:

    function api_check_post_level_updated($field, $meta_value, $old_level, $post_id ) {

        //Current data
        $measurements = get_post_meta($post_id, '_property_' . $old_level . '_measurements', true);
        $bedrooms = get_post_meta($post_id, '_property_' . $old_level . '_bedrooms', true);
        $bathrooms = get_post_meta($post_id, '_property_' . $old_level . '_bathrooms', true);
        $currency = get_post_meta($post_id, '_property_' . $old_level . '_currency', true);
        $booking_url = get_post_meta($post_id, '_property_' . $old_level . '_booking_url', true);
        $features = get_post_meta($post_id, '_property_' . $old_level . '_features', false);
        $atnr = get_post_meta($post_id, '_property_' . $old_level . '_atnr', true);
        $feature_image = get_post_meta($post_id, '_property_' . $old_level . '_feature_image', false);

        $slideshow = get_post_meta($post_id, '_property_' . $old_level . '_slideshow_images', false);
        $gallery = get_post_meta($post_id, '_property_' . $old_level . '_images', false);

        $floorplans = get_post_meta($post_id, '_property_' . $old_level . '_floorplans', false);
        $floors = get_post_meta($post_id, '_property_' . $old_level . '_floors', false);

        $facilities = get_post_meta($post_id, '_property_' . $old_level . '_facilities', false);

        //Copy old level data to new level
        update_post_meta($post_id, '_property_' . $meta_value . '_measurements', $measurements);
        update_post_meta($post_id, '_property_' . $meta_value . '_bedrooms', $bedrooms);
        update_post_meta($post_id, '_property_' . $meta_value . '_bathrooms', $bathrooms);
        update_post_meta($post_id, '_property_' . $meta_value . '_currency', $currency);
        update_post_meta($post_id, '_property_' . $meta_value . '_booking_url', $booking_url);
        update_post_meta($post_id, '_property_' . $meta_value . '_features', $features);
        update_post_meta($post_id, '_property_' . $meta_value . '_atnr', $atnr);
        update_post_meta($post_id, '_property_' . $meta_value . '_feature_image', $feature_image);

        update_post_meta($post_id, '_property_' . $meta_value . '_slideshow_images', $slideshow);
        update_post_meta($post_id, '_property_' . $meta_value . '_images', $gallery);

        update_post_meta($post_id, '_property_' . $meta_value . '_floorplans', $floorplans);
        update_post_meta($post_id, '_property_' . $meta_value . '_floors', $floors);

        update_post_meta($post_id, '_property_' . $meta_value . '_facilities', $facilities);

}
add_action('rwmb__property_level_after_save_field', 'api_check_post_level_updated', 10, 5);

    any help would be helpful.

    thanks

    Hi,

    Is the $prefix = property or _property? _property matches the action rwmb__property_level_after_save_field (In this case, $field_id is _property_level).

    I see you are trying to copy values from old fields to new fields. Please note that, this action happens after field _property_level is saved. It doesn't guarantee that it happens before or after other fields are saved.

    Ah sorry prefix should be _ property _ no spaces.

    Ah ok, is there a way I can achieve what I am trying to do it says hook still passes old/new values?

    Thanks

    It's nearly impossible to guarantee the order of fields saved. So I'd suggest using rwmb_before_save_post hook to get all the old values of a post before other fields are updated. Then use rwmb_after_save_post to update the needed fields.

    Thanks Anh,

    Sorry whats the best way to pass the fields from rwmb_before_save_post to after_save_post?

    3 functions?

    Just save it in a temporary variable (a class property if you're using a PHP class, or a global variable if you use normal functions).

    Got round to trying this and it seems to run a few times?

    Hi Anh,

    Still not got it to work all values seem to be passing through but they just aren't saving to the post. Updated code:
