I’m asking because I’m creating an interface with CMB2 for users to manage a bunch of data in their WP backend.

Part of launching the new interface is migrating the data from the existing source, CSV.

Can you point me to the API functions I can use to write data into the fields I’ve created with CMB2?

Alright, I’ve hacked it up myself.

I changed the
In CMB2_Field.php, I changed the replace_hash function to be:

public function replace_hash($value)
{
    if (!$this->options('group_title_callback')) {

        // Replace hash with 1 based count

        return str_ireplace('{#}', ($this->count() + 1) , $value);
    }
    else {
        $fields = array();
        foreach(array_values($this->args('fields')) as $field_args) {
            $field = new CMB2_Field(array(
                'field_args' => $field_args,
                'group_field' => $this,
            ));
            $fields[$field_args['id']] = $field->value;
        }

        return call_user_func($this->options('group_title_callback') , $fields);
    }
}

Then in my metabox setup, I set:

'group_title' => 'New Widget',
'group_title_callback' => array($this, 'format_group_title'),

and finally my formatting callback that sets the title based off the field values:

public function format_group_title($fields) {
        return $fields['time'] . ' ' . $fields['name'];
}

This results in new items having the title “New Widget”, and existing groups getting an informative title based off two fields.

It’s a bit of a hack, is there a way to do this without editing CMB2? I’d rather not break automatic updates and maintain my own fork.

Edit: improved slightly

Doesn’t work for me. Given all the unanswered support requests and lack of updates, I’m guessing it is no longer maintained.

Also searching in any fields other than post content doesn’t work.

The new %caption% placeholder is great, however it currently uses the “caption” configured in the Media library itself. Which is fine in some cases, however sometimes you want to you use the [caption ... caption='something different'] shortcode to specify a different caption in a post/page.

Any chance it could support both media library captions and inline captions?

It would be super if you could add Wikipeida and Wikimedia Commons as a data source!
