      Has anyone figured out how to retain the field values when switching between Workflow tabs? My product is in beta and users are having difficulty understanding that they need to save the CPT before switching tabs. This also causes a problem with Jetpack social publishing as the post is auto published on the first save and not the final.

      Carla– Each Worflow tabs is a separate page. It would be the same if your client filled in some fields and then clicked on the Dashboard page. You have two options here:

      1) Implement a Javascript solutions that triggers the submit button when switching the page. You can search Google for this since it is not a WordPress or Piklist specfic solution.

      2) Build your own tabs and don’t use Workflows. WordPress has some CSS built in for their old tab style. I think this should help. You would have to combine all our fields into one meta-box file and use code HTML like this:

      
      

      This will work everywhere except settings, because of how the WP Settings API works.

      Let us know if this works for you.
