  • @hube2 you are really a savior. Thanks for helping.

    There’s a bit typo, but really, you save the day. So for anyone else out there, here’s the functional code:

    # Save the actual time when user click submit
    add_action( 'acf/save_post', 'set_submit_time' );
    function set_submit_time($post_id) {
    	update_field('field_XXXXXX', date('Y-m-d H:i:s'), $post_id);
    }

    You can add within functions.php or your singlepage.php before the acf_form_head();

    Oh and also, if you need to get local time, change the date to this:

    update_field('field_XXXXXX', date('Y-m-d H:i:s', current_time( 'timestamp', 0 )), $post_id);
