  • Thanks for the explanation!
    And I totally understand it. Now the confusion is, since this is fields for “Options Page(s)” why would data be sored in, for example user’s meta?

    I understand why ACFextended (which I have) and HookTurn have functionality that can save groups / fields in a ‘custom’ table.
    But I don’t understand why ACF would, while creating an Options Page, store data in a particular user’s meta.

    Can you give me a short real-world example of ‘why’ this would be used?

    Or, here is an assumption I am making of why this may be useful:
    I have an options page, I create a simple text field that I can enter some simple data.
    I also have a dropdown that has a dynamic list of users.
    When saved, the data in the text field can be stored in the user’s meta that was selected from the dropdown?
