I’m often in the situation when i use same tab fields in multiple field groups.
I wonder if it’s possible to reuse some groups (something like „include group”) ?
Hi @Ionut Staicu,
You could try creating a field group that contains all the common fields you need to reuse, then have it appear when the post is a certain taxonomy or category. As you can select multiple categories for a post, you could then “mix n match” which fields you wanted for each post.
Let me know if this helps,
Cheers
Yeah, but i was hoped to have an easy way to reuse these fields on multiple filed groups:

Without using endless conditional logic 🙂
A better example:

I want to add few options related to how pages looks in two ways: one global and one local. So you can have a default page background which can be overwritten per page.
Things are working great, is just that i’d like to have it displayed as a sidebar widget on page or as a regular metabox on options page.
Hi @Ionut Staicu
Putting your ‘common’ fields into 1 field group and then adding this field group to all the places you want IS the easiest way to do so.
I can’t think of an easier way, but if you can, please let us know.
You can also change the metabox position to appear on the side of the edit screen.

Thanks @elliot. The way you propose makes impossible the use of tabs. And my OCD (which has it’s own personality! 😀 ) insists to have everything organized (having N metaboxes is anything but organized)
Anyhow, thanks for your time, please consider adding this feature. Thanks!
Hi @Ionut Staicu
Yes, multiple field groups can’t be joined by tabs (yet).
Perhaps in the future, I can add this in, but the WP metaboxes make this idea quite complicated
Thanks

Agreed… global fields and field groups would be incredibly helpful.
