 * Is there a way to automatically show a set of custom fields for specific page
   templates?

 * Not at the moment. Each field can be used for so much, so it’s impossible for
   the plugin to know how you want to use it/show it. That’s why you have to write
   your own code in your templates to show the contents of the fields.

 * Hi,
 * Thank you for your response. However, after re-reading my post, I feel I did 
   not explain my question properly.
 * I wish to automatically load a set of custom fields in the post editor page when
   a specific page template is selected. Instead of having to choose it from a dropdown
   and then save the page.
 * Regards,
 * John

 * Hi John,
 * You need to set ‘Default post connector’ so it will show your fields automatically
   when you create new post.
    On settings page of Simple fields look for: ‘Post 
   type defaults’, then click on your post type where you want them to show, then
   select your post connector and save.

 * Wow, I can’t believe I missed that option.
 * Thanks, Bobz. Much appreciated.
