Taxonomy Term Default Value

Hello,

Thanks for the feedback! I’m glad you enjoy ACF Extended! The Taxonomy Terms field “Default Value” setting require Terms ID to work properly. You can also set one ID per line if you want to set multiple default value (for checkbox & select field type)

Making that setting compatible with slugs would require extra work as ACF doesn’t support such behavior out of the box. I may add that feature in the future, along with the “Conditional Logic” using slugs feature request. See Trello Board: https://trello.com/c/8m91Pm8V/570-taxonomy-terms-add-term-slug-support-for-conditional-logic

There’s no ETA yet tho.

Have a nice day!

Regards.

Hello,

Yes you’re right, I’ll probably tune the description to make it a bit more descriptive.

Regarding the “Return Value”, I just tested it and it works fine. Please make sure that you don’t have an another field with the same name, ACF may pick the other field configuration in some specific situations (when using local fields).

Try to start with a blank new field group, new field and a blank page.

Hope it helps!

Regards.

Haha! No worries. Yeah it’s normal then, get_post_meta() doesn’t format value, as it is just the native WordPress function to retrieve value from the DB.

You should stick to ACF functions when it comes to ACF. In fact get_field() retrieve the value from the DB AND format it based on the field settings.

Have a nice day!
