Some fields take more coding to update. To be honest I’m not sure what you have to do.

this returns the field

var field = acf.getField(key);

the field type will be part what is returned. You’ll need to look at that and then do something different for more complex fields. Unfortunately, like I said, I don’t know what needs to be done for every field type.

It might help if you change you php to not format the values being returned

Change this

$source_fields = get_field_objects($another_post_id);

to this

$source_fields = get_field_objects($another_post_id, false);
