Hi @amandab
I’m not sure why this is not working for you. I just created a new field called ‘Test New Field’ (text) and added it to the options page via the location rules.
This field had a default value of ‘Test default’
I opened the options page and the default value ‘Test default’ loaded into the input.
I then saved the field and it saved with the default value correctly.
Looking at my wp_options table, I noticed that the option_name is actually ‘options_test_new_field’, so the options page add-on saves with a prefix of ‘options_’.
Perhaps this explains why you could not find a value previously.
Looks like it’s working correctly for me, hope you can get it to work.
Cheers
E
