Featured set as Unchecked but it is Checked

Furthermore, there’s nothing under the pricing tab related to featured.

Ok, so to make things even more confusion, I excluded the custom field featured from the free packages and included it in the paid featured packages. Now when I go to add an event, which defaults to the free, then select the featured package the custom field featured appears and it’s unchecked.

So, it seems the custom field featured only is checked by default on the free package but it is not on the paid package that’s actually featured. There goes my idea that maybe this featured custom field was possibly for paid packages to give people an option to have it featured. Because it should be by default featured since this is a package promoted as such.

What is this featured field for?

The only thing I can think of is this featured field must only be intended for backend purposes. Or maybe something more I’m not yet thinking of…

It’s hard for me to really understand what all this means. I guess my imagination is getting in the way and not seeing visually what is being explained in the documentation.

I totally understand that, as always, a package may be featured and this affords a featured listing the advantage of being shown first in the listings page and exclusively in featured areas. It use to be controlled from the package settings. Am I correct in saying it’s now controlled from this custom field? If so, that’s where I was initially misunderstanding it. When I first saw this custom field I didn’t know featured wasn’t in the package anymore.

So, am I correct in saying; to make a package featured I have to add the custom field and select the packages under “Show only on these price packages” in that featured custom field? Now, on the premise of that being correct, let’s talk about “Is Active” and “Default Value”.

If “Is Active” is not checked will that to disable featured packages from being featured? Or does that just control whether it’s showing on the add listing page?

If “Default Value” is set for “Unchecked” is this going to essentially turn off featured package from being featured? Does this have to be set to check? What does this mean?

A video showing all this and how it works on the front end would be very helpful since it’s so different than V1. In fact, everything that’s different about V1 and V2 would ideally have a video…

Ok, I think I understand now, except number 3. It seems the custom field featured is only there to create featured packages. So, why is there a “default value” if it’s going to be overwritten?
