Answers.Text: Ah, so you have to specify the ```entry.id```. That makes sense. Thank you so much.

Body: <p>I was wondering if someone could help me find a solution to this. I didn't see it in the docs. Perhaps I missed it...</p>
  
  <p>I created an entry type with the field type <code>Meta: Basic</code>. I would like to use this to override the meta defaults at the entry level. It doesn't appear to do it on it's own and accessing the content via <code>entry.metaBasic.description</code> doesn't work either. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.</p>

  To override the Default meta data with your field type the only addition you need in your code is to pass the `entry.id` to your `craft.sproutSeo.meta` tag:
  
  ```
  {% do craft.sproutSeo.meta({ 
      id: entry.id,    
      default: 'default',
      title: entry.title,
      description: entry.body|striptags|slice(0, 160)
  }) %}
  
  ```
  
  Once you identify the `entry.id` Sprout SEO will handle the rest, prioritizing any values you have in your field types above any values in your Defaults or Code Overrides.
