I bet it’s much simpler than it seems…
Replace
<textarea name="ourwork[%1$s][client-desc]" value=""></textarea>
with:
<textarea name="ourwork[%1$s][client-desc]">%7$s</textarea>
Don’t forget to replace string in jQuery code, too.
2 Problems:
- You forgot
%7$s - Textarea don’t use
value=""but put value between<textarea>and</textarea>(if you use value=”” it will be saved but not showed)
