Field Configuration Options

Supported Field Types

Dynamic Options

Use a callable to generate options dynamically:

register_bulk_edit_fields( 'product', [
    'category' => [
        'label'   => __( 'Category', 'my-plugin' ),
        'type'    => 'select',
        'options' => function() {
            $categories = get_terms( [
                'taxonomy'   => 'product_cat',
                'hide_empty' => false,
            ] );
            
            $options = [ '' => __( '— Select —', 'my-plugin' ) ];
            foreach ( $categories as $cat ) {
                $options[ $cat->term_id ] = $cat->name;
            }
            
            return $options;
        },
        'meta_key' => '_product_category',
    ],
]);

Multiple Post Types

register_bulk_edit_fields( [ 'post', 'page', 'product' ], [
    'featured' => [
        'label'    => __( 'Featured', 'my-plugin' ),
        'type'     => 'checkbox',
        'meta_key' => '_is_featured',
    ],
]);

Custom Sanitization

register_bulk_edit_fields( 'product', [
    'price' => [
        'label'             => __( 'Price', 'my-plugin' ),
        'type'              => 'number',
        'meta_key'          => '_price',
        'step'              => '0.01',
        'sanitize_callback' => function( $value ) {
            return round( floatval( $value ), 2 );
        },
    ],
]);
