Hi @mastafu

I think you could just do a check for the title value in your save_post hook and ignore the changes if it’s empty.

add_action( 'acf/save_post', 'my_update_existing_post_data', 10 ); 
function my_update_existing_post_data( $post_id ) {
	
	if(!isset($_POST['acf']['field_5464a2a2d9a50']) || $_POST['acf']['field_5464a2a2d9a50'] == '')
		return;
		
	
	// Update existing post
	$post = array(
		'ID'           => $post_id,
		'post_status'  => 'publish',
		'post_title'   => wp_strip_all_tags($_POST['acf']['field_5464a2a2d9a50']), // Post Title ACF field key
	);

	// Update the post
	$post_id = wp_update_post( $post );
}

Let me know how that works!
