Create post from acf_form in other post type and set custom fields

  Hi,

  I have an acf_form located on a specific page.
  When saving the form, a custom post is created :

  $args = array(
  	'post_id' => 'new_post', // On va créer une nouvelle publication
  	'new_post' => array(
  		'post_type' => 'enquiry',
  		'post_status' => 'publish',
  		),
  	'field_groups' => array(3496), 
  );	
  acf_form($args);

  This works fine, because that specific post type has the same fields as the form. However, how do I create a post with a separate CPT and set some of its custom fields with values contained in the submitted form?

  I tried to go another way by removing ‘new_post’ altogether from $args, and using wp_insert_post in a separate function, but I didn’t succeed.

  OK, I managed to do it with a acf/save_post function.

  add_filter('acf/save_post', 'create_proposal_from_form');  
  
  function create_proposal_from_form($post_id) {
  	
  	$test = get_field('test',$post_id);
  	$pagetype = is_page_template();
  	
  	if ($pagetype = 'Proposal Form') {
  		
  		$post_data = array(
  				'post_title' => 'Test7', 
  				'post_status' => 'publish',
  				'post_name' => 'test1',
  				'post_type' => 'enquiry',
  			);
  
  		$newpageid = wp_insert_post( $post_data );	
  		update_field('form_event_nights',$test, $newpageid);	
  	}
  }
