Meta data and the “New Entry ID” feature

  • From what I can glean, when this feature is off it works by copying the new entry over to the original entry ID, and then deleting the new. This doesn’t account for entry metadata that has already been attached. As a result if I attach meta data during submission handling, it ends up being associated with the new (deleted) ID and not the original. I could grab the original entry ID out of $_POST, but I’d only want to do that when the “New Entry ID” feature was turned off, but because get_form_settings() is a protected method there’s no way for me to detect this.

    Am I overlooking something or am I out of luck?
