In what order does the Forminator add post metas on creating posts?

    Hello,

    I have two meta values for the posts created with Forminator, and I need to know in which order does Forminator, when creating the post, add these meta fields.

    I have the ‘upload-1’ field and the ‘currency-1’ field, as show in the picture below.

    Does add_post_meta( $post_id, 'upload-1', $value ); happen before add_post_meta( $post_id, 'currency-1', $value ); due to the order in the custom fields?

    I need to know because I have to determine if the hook ‘added_post_meta’ fires first with the ‘upload-1’ meta field or with the ‘currency-1’ field.

    thank you

    Hi @jack1132132

    I hope you are doing well.

    Since you are mapping the custom meta it will get the order that you insert in the settings and create a loop on it:

    
$post_meta   = isset( $data['post-custom'] ) ? $data['post-custom'] : '';

if ( ! empty( $post_meta ) ) {
				foreach ( $post_meta as $meta ) {
					add_post_meta( $post_id, $meta['key'], $meta['value'] );
				}
				add_post_meta( $post_id, '_has_forminator_meta', true );
			}

    You can also confirm it using this PHP code:

    add_action( 'added_post_meta', 'verify_metadata_order_forminator', 10, 4 );

function verify_metadata_order_forminator( $mid, $object_id, $meta_key, $_meta_value ){

    $content = $meta_key . ' ' . date('h:i:s');

	error_log( print_r( $content, true ) );
}

    It will print in the debug.log when that post meta was fired.
