Not entirely

If you have a CF called “Hero CF” with a field “main_title”,
and a CF called “Intro CF” with a field “main_title”,
and then apply those both to a page/post, it can’t distinguish the fields.

(I believe updating the second field in the admin, will modify the first as well…since the field for both is still “main_title”)

In which case I think it’s probably better to give each CF a containing group (hero, intro) so you end up with fields eg “hero_main_title” and “intro_main_title” (but can still be accessed by “main_title” in code for that Group)

Anyone have better suggestion?

Thanks.

Hi John,

thanks for the example. this is the approach I eventually thought would be the case. I was going to save a taxonomy to query on eg “has_multiple” but if i can do a query on all items where meta value related_employees_count > 1 , that would do it

thanks again
J.

Sorry,

I was pointing the field to itself, rather than the other CF (had them named the same)

I am having a similar problem with the latest free version.

the problem only happens in Chrome and IE. Firefox is fine

I have 3 CF’s on a page with logic controlling each (selecting the last item in the select box on CF1, brings up CF2, selecting an item on CF2 will bring up one of a number of CF’s for CF3)

When I select anything in the drop downs, all CF’s apart from the first one disappear. again in Firefox it’s fine though, i see an ajax spinner and the fields appear

i thought it might be because I have multiple “If Post Taxonomy = [something]” logic entries where each taxonomy condition points to a different Custom Taxonomy but i reduced it to one taxonomy and the problem still existed.

I looked at the ajax response body.. in Firefox i get several back eg [121,156,150,163]

in Chrome i get some blank entries then 121 (121 is the first CF)

I do get this warning in chrome from jQuery when i first load the page. I don’t know if it is related “Synchronous XMLHttpRequest on the main thread is deprecated because of its detrimental effects to the end user’s experience.”
discussed here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27736186/jquery-has-deprecated-synchronous-xmlhttprequest

any advice greatly appreciated

thanks
