Disabling specific meta fields

    I was using the hook below to filter out all the meta fields. Unfortunately I now need only one meta info field (Entry Date). Is there a hook that we can use to disable specific meta info fields so that I can include Entry Date?

    Hook previously used:
    add_filter( ‘gfexcel_output_meta_info’, ‘__return_false’ );

    Resolved by using Default Enabled Meta Fields

    Hi @bcxdeveloper,

    Glad you already have a solution. For what it’s worth, here is an alternative.

    You can do it programmatically by using the gfexcel_field_disable_meta hook, and return true unless the $field->id equals the one you want to show. That way only that meta field is visible.

    Note that this only applies on the actual download, not the sorting table.

    For example: 

    add_filter('gfexcel_field_disable_meta', function (bool $current_value, $field) {
    $visible_meta_fields = ['date_created'];

    return !in_array($field->id, $visible_meta_fields, true);
});

    So you can prevent the export of those fields this way, but not the ability to drag and drop them in the sorting tables.

    Excellent! This is exactly what I was looking for.
