Default category on listing submit not working

[simonavshalom]

I’m using this code to set placeholder and default category. the placeholder works but the default category isn’t. what I’m doing wrong?

add_filter(
	'hivepress/v1/forms/listing_submit',
	function( $form ) {
	
		if(isset($form['fields']['categories'])){
			$form['fields']['categories']['placeholder'] = 'choose category';
			$form['fields']['categories']['default'] = 116;
		}
		
		return $form;
	},
	1000
	);

Another question please.
If I want the same code to be in the listing submit and listing update page and to avoid additional lines. can I use the same code for 2 paths? like this:

add_filter(
	'hivepress/v1/forms/listing_submit', 'hivepress/v1/forms/listing_update',
	function( $form ) {
	
		if(isset($form['fields']['title'])){
			$form['fields']['title']['placeholder'] = 'choose title';
		}
		
		return $form;
	},
	1000
	);

Or any other way to use the same code for 2 pages?

1. Please try this PHP snippet to set the default category for the new listings. Please just number 1 on the category id

add_action(
	'hivepress/v1/models/listing/create', 
	function($listing_id, $listing) {
		$listing->set_categories([1])->save_categories();
	},
	1000,
	2
);

2. It is possible to use only hook hivepress/v1/forms/listing_update. The hivepress/v1/forms/listing_submit hook inherits changes for the hivepress/v1/forms/listing_update

@yevhen

add_action(
	'hivepress/v1/models/listing/create', 
	function($listing_id, $listing) {
		$listing->set_categories([1])->save_categories();
	},
	1000,
	2
);

I tried the PHP snippet I try to stay with “1” and also change the number to “116” which is the number of the category, but it’s not helping. still, show “select category” when creating a listing.

Please try registering a new user and adding a listing, or finish adding the current listing and add a new one. The suggested snippet sets the category ID on creation, and the one you’re adding may be an existing draft.
