what about using this: wp_update_post( $my_post );

• inside update_value filter?
• inside save_post action?

i use them to update post_title or post_content with values that come from get_field

or the save action: (all you need is a hidden field with name “totalprice“)

function my_acf_update_totalprice($post_id)
{
    $total = get_field('price') * get_field('qty');
    $value = $total;
    $field_name = "totalprice";
    update_field($field_name, $value, $post_id);
}
add_action('save_post', 'my_acf_update_totalprice');
