Feature Request

• Yes, I reviewed the contribution guidelines.

Describe your use case and the problem you are facing

wp post list support arbitrary --<field> being passed to WP_Query but date parameters which depends on a nested structure are not handled. Doing so would allow handy filtering logic based on post date attributes.

Describe the solution you'd like

--date-<field> could be used as a prefix opening the way to things like --date-before=2024-01-01 or --date-year=2025
(The same applied to meta_query would also be great as it would resolves the long-standing problem of retrieving posts based on meta-condition straight from wp post list without any piping/subcommand)

Thanks for the suggestion!

Perhaps we could support JSON input for these cases.

Previously:

• wp post list --date_query before array wp-cli#3039
• Reinvestigate command-line input of associative arrays wp-cli#4616

\WP_CLI\Utils\parse_shell_arrays is the easy solution here.

Could you please add tax_query to this $array_arguments variable. I tested, it works well!

[swissspidy]

Are you perhaps up for submitting a PR? :-)

[drzraf]

Yes... but... I fear... you may legitimately ask for behat tests and their

When I run wp term create post_tag foo
and when I run wp post create --tax_input=stuff
and 🙄⏳🫣⏳🤯

[swissspidy]

See, it basically writes itself :-)

But here you go: #522
