    Is it possible to increment a default value on say the text field like they do in the ACF plugin.

    i have looked at the standard documentation but i couldn’t see anything like that. Or am i looking in the wrong place

    Something like this 

    $cmb->add_field( array(
    'name'      => 'Test Text',
    'desc'      => 'field description (optional)',
    'default'   => 0,
    'increment' => 1,
    'id'        => 'wiki_test_text',
    'type'      => 'text',
) );

    Honestly sounds like this would be something best done with a repeater field. Is that part of your current setup?

    Can you clarify what ‘increment’ means in this context, and what you expect to happen? I am not familiar with the ACF implementation.

    Thanks for the responses. The ACF field i am referring to is a number field that allows a default number and then a “step size” option to increase by 1 or whatever number preferred.

    In its current setup it increases by 1 every time a post is created. And i’m looking for that kind of option with CMB2.

    Does that make sense ?

    That makes sense. You can do that using default HTML5 attributes like so:

    $cmb->add_field( array(
	'name'    => __( 'Select number in increments of 20', 'yourtextdomain' ),
	'id'      => 'number_step_field',
	'type'    => 'text',
	'attributes' => array(
		'type' => 'number',
		'step' => 20,
	),
) );
