@hube2 This is what i was going to do…but are you saying don’t use acf_maybe_get_field()? With my broken data, it seems to work well. I can get the field_key by passing it the name of the field and the post id. I was going to do something simple like this.
function helper_get_field_key($field_name, $post_id){
$maybe_field_obj = acf_maybe_get_field( $field_name, $post_id, false );
return $maybe_field_obj['key'];
}
$get_field_key_email = helper_get_field_key('email', $post_id);
print_r($get_field_key_email);
Returns: field_5f401336ed966
This output the field key for the email field that is in that post id.
If there is a better way to get the field_key programmatically when no value exists yet, I’m all ears…Would love to have a function to use just to get the field key.
