 * Hey All!
 * I am trying to edit the names of some of the fields in the stock WP Job Manager
   form. Additionally, I want to edit some of the placeholder values and descriptions.
   I entered the below code in my functions.php file and saved it, but the fields
   themselves do not end up changing.
 *     ```
       // Add your own function to filter the fields
       add_filter( 'submit_job_form_fields', 'custom_submit_job_form_fields' );
   
       // This is your function which takes the fields, modifies them, and returns them
       // You can see the fields which can be changed here: https://github.com/mikejolley/WP-Job-Manager/blob/master/includes/forms/class-wp-job-manager-form-submit-job.php
       function custom_submit_job_form_fields( $fields ) {
   
           // Here we target one of the job fields (job_title) and change it's label
           $fields['job']['job_title']['label'] = "Custom Label";
   
           // And return the modified fields
           return $fields;
       }
       ```
   
 * For the record, the following works for removing fields:
 *     ```
       add_filter( 'submit_job_form_fields', 'custom_submit_job_form_fields_dm' );
   
       function custom_submit_job_form_fields_dm( $fields ) {
           // in this example, we remove the job_tags field
           unset($fields['company']['company_tagline']);
           unset($fields['job']['job_hours']);
           // unset($fields['job']['job_title']);
   
           // And return the modified fields
           return $fields;
       }
       ```
   
 * For some reason, the editing fields is not working, but the removing fields part
   does. Does anyone have any idea why this would be??
 * Thanks so much for your help everyone!
