Thanks for your reply.

I understand that substituting values ​​in the database and not in the fields, which is the wrong way, it is correct to use then save_post.

But then how to update the fields in the current record? It is necessary to write and add code to everything in the success section. I tried a couple of options but it didn’t work. Can you suggest what command should I use?

I try thic code, but its not working:

jQuery( function ( $ ) {
  $ ('.acf-field-64647e4980e03').click( function(){
  var input = $(this);  
  var post_id = $('#post_ID').val();
     $.ajax({
        type: 'POST',
        url: ajaxurl,
        data: {
          action: 'copy_block_data',
          post_id: post_id
        },
        success: function(response) {
          if (response.success) {
            acf.do_action('append', response.data);
          } else {
            alert(response.data);
          }
        },
        error: function(xhr, status, error) {
          console.log(error);
        }
      });
    }
  );
});

add_action('wp_ajax_copy_block_data', 'copy_block_data_callback');
function copy_block_data_callback() {
  $post_id = get_field('Blocks-FirstSlide-copyBlock', $post_id );
    if ($post) {
      $acf_data = get_fields($post_id);
      wp_send_json_success($acf_data);
    } else {
      wp_send_json_error('Not found');
    }
 }
