Set meta box field values outside definition

    Hi,

    I’m attempting to set the value of a few meta_box fields. These meta boxes have been added by a plugin that I do not want to modify / make core edits to but I still have the need to set the value of these fields on the “post-new.php” page, so that I can set values before submitting.

    I’m aware of the existance of pre and post save hooks for posts but I’d like to prevent that one extra page reload from having to occur, as this saves a lot of time when trying to edit 1000 posts in bulk.

    Does anyone here know of a hook that I could use to set the value of these input fields between the GET request to post-new.php and the HTML being sent to the client?
