Hi @buylov

My bad. It should be like this:

function my_acf_save_post( $post_id ) {
    
    // get new value
    $theDate = get_field('post-date', $post_id, false);
    $theDate = $theDate . " " . get_field('dummy_hour', $post_id, false);
    $theDate = $theDate . ":" . get_field('dummy_minute', $post_id, false);
    if($theDate){
        $theDate = date_create_from_format('Ymd H:i', $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);

Don’t forget to create the dummy hours and minutes fields (you can use number field for this).

I hope this one is working 🙂
