  update a field when using acf/update_value/ filter. I am updating a field via PHP. I can watch the update of this field and execute most code as expected however i am unable to update another field with ACF’s “update_field”.

  So the question is how can i watch a field change and change another depending on the watched fields value?

  Sample Code:

  add_filter(‘acf/update_value/name=my_field_name’, ‘my_awesome_function’, 10, 3);

  function my_awesome_function($value, $post_id, $field) {
  if ($value = ‘123’) {
  // UPDATE ANOTHER ACF FIELD HERE!
  update_field(‘another_field’, ‘new value’, $post_id);
  }
  return $value;

  }
