Hi @buylov
It should be working. I don’t know why the new post is not detected. As a workaround, you can use acf/save_post instead. Something like this:
function my_acf_save_post( $post_id ) {
// get new value
$theDate = get_field('post-date', $post_id, false);
$theDate = date_create_from_format('Ymd', $theDate);
$theDate = date_format($theDate, 'Y-m-d H:i:s');
$my_post = array(
'ID' => $post_id,
'post_date' => $theDate,
);
// do something
// unhook this function so it doesn't loop infinitely
remove_action('acf/save_post', 'my_acf_save_post');
// update the post, which calls save_post again
wp_update_post( $my_post );
// re-hook this function
add_action('acf/save_post', 'my_acf_save_post');
}
// run after ACF saves the $_POST['acf'] data
add_action('acf/save_post', 'my_acf_save_post', 20);
I hope this does the trick!

ACF wouldn’t be so widely used in WordPress if it didn’t have some pretty amazing capabilities. In this article, we look at a few of the features we’ll discuss during “7 things you didn’t know you could do with ACF” at #WPEDecode later this month. https://t.co/5lnsTxp81j pic.twitter.com/Yf0ThPG1QG
