    Hi,

    i created a CPT with a relationship field that works as a simple list. Now I want to populate each new post of this CPT with not only one, but several values of the list. I use a comma-separated statement but it only takes the first of it as default, the following values get ignored.

    I do not find any hint in the docs of PODS. Any ideas?

    Hi @habd

    I’m not sure I’m following what you are trying to do. A relationship can be made a multiple relationship in the field options. You can then select several relationships on the same field.

    Is this what you mean?

    thanks for caring about my request. But it does not describe what I wanted to ask for. It is:

    I use the relationship to create a list of options like:

    Apples, carrots, oranges, bananas

    And I want to set the parameters of the custom field in a way that for any new post e.g. carrots and bananas are already set (as default values).

    in the regarding option of the CF I can set only one value to get set as default. But I did not manage to set more than one. I tried a comma-separated list nut this did not work.

    any ideas?

    Hi @habd

    Ah right, so you want to set two of the options as default.

    Well, as far as I know this is currently not supported yet.
    However, I do feel like our default value handling should get an update anyway. I’ve made an issue on GitHub to improve this feature.: https://github.com/pods-framework/pods/issues/7186

    For now, I think your only option is to use PHP filters, you could for example override the form params using the following hook: pods_pods_form_fields.
