Hi @dhod and @bowersinit

when using acf_form within another field like this there’s no automagic saving happening so you’ll have to do that yourself (as you figured out).

I think what you need is to hook into the user_register action:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/user_register

and save the ACF input values to their respective fields. Something like:

function save_additional_user_meta( $user_id ) {

    if ( isset( $_POST['NAME PARAMETER OF THE ACF INPUT FIELD'] ) )
        update_user_meta($user_id, 'first_name', $_POST['NAME PARAMETER OF THE ACF INPUT FIELD']);

}
add_action( 'user_register', 'save_additional_user_meta', 10, 1 );
