I can’t get this to direct images to a folder…

add_filter('acf/upload_prefilter/name=field_6140aa779827d', 'field_name_upload_prefilter');
function field_nameupload_prefilter($errors) {
  echo '<pre>Hello world 1</pre>';
  // in this filter we add a WP filter that alters the upload path
  add_filter('upload_dir', 'field_name_upload_dir');
  echo '<pre>Hello world 2</pre>';
  return $errors;
}

// second filter
function field_name_upload_dir($uploads) {
  // here is where we later the path
  $uploads['path'] = $uploads['basedir'].'/companies';
  $uploads['url'] = $uploads['baseurl'].'/companies';
  $uploads['subdir'] = 'logos';
  echo '<pre>Hello world 4</pre>';
  return $uploads;
}

Field type is Image, name “Company Logo” (“companylogo”, “field_6140aa779827d”).
Aim is to upload a company logo but siphon it to a child of “uploads” – “uploads/companies/logos“.
But it continues going to “uploads/2021/09“.

None of my “Hello world” test lines are displayed, which may suggest the filter isn’t firing at all (?).

Any thoughts?
