Reply To: Which rules should I set for a reusable Field Group (using as a Clone field)

Just to add to this while I’m here / I had the same question.

For example, I have an “image fields” fielder. I use that as a clone in 10+ places. But –

Like John says, there is is no option to set it to show on ‘no pages’ / and instead I just make a rule that is impossible / so “show on pages that are posts and also pages and also another custom post type.”

I don’t understand the suggestion to set the group to ‘inactive.’

I didn’t see it in the docs:

https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/creating-a-field-group/

So – to be clear / I want to my field to be “active” – as in usable / but it’s meaning is that it does not show in any ‘location’ – but is still usable as a clone?

Just leaving some images here to help clarify – as I tend to find my own posts years later. ; )
