      Hi,

      I’ve created a metabox in a custom post type and I have a group field containing: one editor, and two textfields. This group represents comments in the custom post type and has add_more.
      The two textfields are disabled, because they are the comment’s author and date, And we don’t want them to be editable.
      When I add one more group I notice that the dafault values of the textfields (current user name and current date) are gone…
      Here’s the code:

      <?php
/*
Title: Comments
Capability: manage_options
Post Type: wt_support_ticket
*/
global $current_user;
get_currentuserinfo();

piklist('field', array(
    'type' => 'group'
    ,'field' => 'comment_div'
    ,'label' => __('Comments') 
    ,'add_more' => true
    ,'fields' => array(
        array(
          'type' => 'text'
          ,'field' => 'comment_author'
          ,'label' => __("From")
          ,'value' => "$current_user->display_name"
          ,'attributes' => array(
            "disabled" => true
            ,"style" => "width:90%;"
          )
        )
        ,array(
          'type' => 'text'
          ,'field' => 'comment_time'
          ,'label' => __("At")
          ,'value' => date('l jS F Y')
          ,'attributes' => array(
            "disabled" => true
            ,"style" => "width:90%;"
          )
        )
        ,array(
          'type' => 'textarea'
          ,'field' => 'support_ticket_comment'
          ,'label' => __("Comment text")
          ,'template' => 'field'
          ,'value' => ''
          ,'attributes' => array(
            'class' => 'comment'
            ,'cols' => '80'
            ,'rows' => '3'
          )
          ,'on_post_status' => array(
            'value' => 'lock'
          )
        )
    )
  )
);

?>

      What can I do?

      Thank you!

      @Angelos– Welcome to the Piklist Support Forums!

      Currently, default values for our Add-Mores only work on the initial field. We have it on our list to make it work on every add_more.

      Also, instead of using "style" => "width:90%;", you may want to try the Piklist grid system. Everything lays out beautifully, and it’s also responsive.

      Your code would look like this:

      piklist('field', array(
    'type' => 'group'
    ,'field' => 'comment_div'
    ,'label' => __('Comments') 
    ,'add_more' => true
    ,'fields' => array(
        array(
          'type' => 'text'
          ,'field' => 'comment_author'
          ,'label' => __("From")
          ,'value' => $current_user->display_name
          ,'columns' => 12
          ,'attributes' => array(
            "disabled" => true
          )
        )
        ,array(
          'type' => 'text'
          ,'field' => 'comment_time'
          ,'label' => __("At")
          ,'value' => date('l jS F Y')
          ,'columns' => 12
          ,'attributes' => array(
            "disabled" => true
          )
        )
        ,array(
          'type' => 'textarea'
          ,'field' => 'support_ticket_comment'
          ,'label' => __("Comment text")
          ,'template' => 'field'
          ,'columns' => 12
          ,'value' => ''
          ,'attributes' => array(
            'class' => 'comment'
            ,'cols' => '80'
            ,'rows' => '3'
          )
          ,'on_post_status' => array(
            'value' => 'lock'
          )
        )
    )
  )
);

      One more thing, I noticed you have the on_post_status parameter set. I doubt you want that. We placed it in the Demos to show off the functionality. Here is a tutorial on using on_post_status, which explains how it works.
