Filter form elements in Post Edit page.
-
I have a challenge. I am using a form input and submit button towards the top of a custom post type edit page, for the user to input some info which I then pass to a php function (on the same page, so action = “”). After this action, the function sets some php variables.
The wordpress issue is that I want to populate the remaining fields, some custom meta fields, and some custom taxonomy fields with the results of this function. I don’t want to submit straight to the database, I want the user to have the option of manually changing the fields. So my plan was to use a filter hook for the custom meta and taxonomy fields – trouble is I can’t find any hooks which are specific to each form element (obviously i suppose), and which are specific to my particular custom fields text inputs. Any ideas how this is done via this method or any other.?
Many thanks, Andrew.
