Hi @cfxd

Thanks for the question.

I’m sure this will be possible by hooking into the acf/prepare_field filter and modifying the sub field’s value / disbaled settings.

Something like this should work:

$GLOBALS['acf_item_count'] = 0;

function acf_prepare_field_item( $field ) {
	
	// set disabled
	$field['disabled'] = 1;
	
	
	// set value
	if( empty($field['value']) ) {
		
		// incease count
		$GLOBALS['acf_item_count']++;
		
		
		// set value
		$field['value'] = $GLOBALS['acf_item_count'];
		
	}
	
	
	// return
	return $field;
	
}

add_filter('acf/prepare_field/key=field_5600966e8fad1', 'acf_prepare_field_item', 10, 1);

The only issue is that by setting a select field to ‘disabled’, it won’t save it’s value… perhaps instead, you will need to change the $field['class'] to ‘disabled’, and then add some CSS / JS to prevent the select field from being clicked / changed.

Good luck
