Yeah thanks. I needed to be sure in what way you’re creating the field 🙂

You should be able to set a default value of the current user using this filter:

This code should work just fine! Be sure to change the field_name to your own. If you want to be safe you can also change it to use the field key instead.

function user_acf_load_field( $field ){

    $field['value'] = get_current_user_id();
    return $field;
}

// acf/load_field - filter for every field
add_filter('acf/load_field/name=userfield', 'user_acf_load_field');
