How to set default values for repeatable, sortable text fields

    Now that I have two fields for each repeating block using label with an array, how do I set the values of the fields. I tried an array of defaults, which didn’t work. And I tried a series of additional arrays containing default, but that populated both fields with the same value.

    I need to be able to populate each rectangle, each containing two fields, and each of those fields with values that are unique.

    Suggestions?

    Thanks,
    David

    Something like this should work.

    array(
    'field_id'          => 'text',
    'title'             => __( 'Sample', 'admin-page-framework-test' ),
    'type'              => 'text',
    'repeatable'        => true,
    'sortable'          => true,
    'label'             => array(
        'first'     => __( 'First', 'admin-page-framework-test' ),
        'second'    => __( 'Second', 'admin-page-framework-test' ),
    ),
    'default'           => array(
        'first'     => '1-1st',
        'second'    => '1-2nd',
    ),
    array(
        'default'           => array(
            'first'     => '2-1st',
            'second'    => '2-2nd',
        ),
    ),
),

    Also try a different field id or reset the options as the stored value may be used.

    That works. What’s the difference between using ‘default’ and ‘value’? I tried it with value and it seemed to do the same thing.

    The value set to the default argument gets overwritten when the user saves their value. The value set to the value argument always takes effect suppressing the stored value.

    Hope it makes sense.

    Yep. Since I’m populating, value actually works better. Thanks.
