  Hi. I need to create and edit tons of custom posts. It would be wonderful if I could select a default value for taxonomy fields, but I see the feature has yet to be added.
  I tried to load a default value with some filters. The first one is a regular checkbox Taxonomy field, and the second one is the same thing, but it’s inside a repeater and a radio button:

  add_filter('acf/load_value/key=field_5821fe811dba6', 'set_tax_libri_default', 20, 3);
  function set_tax_libri_default( $value, $post_id, $field ) {
  	if ($value === false && get_post_status($post_id) == 'auto-draft' && get_post_status($post_id) != 'publish') {
  		$value = 7;
  	}
    return $value;
  }
  
  add_filter('acf/load_value/key=field_5820b0492a8a4',  'set_tax_libri_occorrenza_default', 10, 3);
  function set_tax_libri_occorrenza_default($value, $post_id, $field) {
  	if ($value === false && get_post_status($post_id) == 'auto-draft' && get_post_status($post_id) != 'publish') {
  			$value	= array();
  			$value[] = array('field_5820b05d2a8a5' => 7);
  	}
  	return $value;
  }

  The code works as intended, except if I click on “Add new” under the first instance of the repeater to load a new one, there default value is not loaded. I’m doing something wrong?

  Thanks!

  Edit: it does NOT work as intended. If I edit a published post with a different values, add another one and save the post, all the instances in the repeater are equal to the default value. Can I preserve already published values?

  Please disregard the “Edit” part. I accidentaly turned on the wrong option in the subfield settings. Now it all works as intended, except for the “Add row” (not “Add new”, my mistake) part.
