    Hello,

    We have a post meta field for a custom post type that saves id’s from other posts or terms.

    And we’re using S&F for searching and filtering this custom post type on the archive page of this post type.

    On the S&F form for this post type, we have a Post Meta field. We use the ‘choice’ option. We’ve configured this to automatically retrieve the options from the database. But the values that are shown, are ID’s. This doesn’t mean anything for users of our form.

    Is there a way to show the titles of the post/term that is linked to the ID? I know you have a solution for this when using ACF. But we’re not using ACF on this project.

    Hopefully you can point me in the right direction!
    -Kevin

    Not an easy solution, sorry, no.

    You would have to code your own solution by running a query and modifying the form field labels, using this filter:
