The option itself is called \u201c<strong>Generate Dynamically<\/strong>\u201d and can be used to link certain meta fields of any given Post Type to the corresponding form fields. The options list for the enumerated field types is generated in a dynamic fashion according to the function you pick in the <strong>Generator Function<\/strong> drop-down menu. We are going to cover <strong>Get values from JetEngine field options<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn more about how to generate the options list dynamically, read the tutorial below: <a href=\"https:\/\/crocoblock.com\/knowledge-base\/articles\/how-to-create-select-checkbox-and-radio-fields-in-the-booking-form-using-the-manual-input-fill-type\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/crocoblock.com\/knowledge-base\/articles\/how-to-create-select-checkbox-and-radio-fields-in-the-booking-form-using-the-manual-input-fill-type\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s say you\u2019ve got a custom post type with plenty of meta fields, some of them being <strong>Select, Checkboxes<\/strong>, or <strong>Radio<\/strong>. You also have a dedicated <strong>Add New Post<\/strong> form that lets you quickly submit a new post type to the generic one. In the language of the <a href=\"https:\/\/crocoblock.com\/dynamic-templates\/cardealer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Car Dealer dynamic template<\/a>, those would be <strong>Ads <\/strong>and <strong>New Post<\/strong> accordingly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"item-1 wp-block-heading\" id=\"create-checkboxes-field-type-in-new-post-form\">Create Checkboxes Field Type in New Post Form<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<p class=\"offset\">Go to <strong><em>JetEngine > Forms<\/em><\/strong> and find the new post addition form. Click the \u201c<strong>Edit<\/strong>\u201d button and add a new Checkboxes field to it. If your form has already got such a field, you can edit the existing one. Configure the field in the way shown below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/crocoblock.com\/knowledge-base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/car-dealer-form-generate-dynamically.png\" alt=\"add new post form editing screen\">\n\n\n\n<p class=\"offset\">You can get the <strong>Field Name<\/strong> values instead of the Posts ID. Just open the <strong><em>JetEngine > Post Types<\/em><\/strong> directory, find the very post type you need, open it, and scroll down to the necessary meta field. Click on it and copy the value from the <strong>Name\/ID<\/strong> field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/crocoblock.com\/knowledge-base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/ads-cpt-field-settings.png\" alt=\"advanced options meta fields in the Ads CPT\">\n\n\n\n<p class=\"offset\">Don\u2019t forget to save the changes and update the form.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"item-2 wp-block-heading\" id=\"try-submitting-new-post-on-frontend\">Try Submitting New Post on Frontend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<p class=\"offset\">Now, we open the <strong>Add New Post<\/strong> form on the frontend.
