Is the first option a more manual version of the second one, I didn’t quite follow where you were going with it.
As for the second one, it is very close to what I had, but with some better checks and using acf_get_fields, instead of get_fields. What is the reasoning behind this, won’t get fields work just as well?
I have 4 acf groups and I include them in acf_form from the beginning:
/* Create Front-End Form */
global $current_user; //get current logged in user info
$author_id = $current_user->ID; //pull user id and assign to author_id variable
//form/post options
$args = array(
'post_id' => 'new_post', //creates new post instead of editing
'field_groups' => array(79,359,1877,1966), //proposal field group
'return' => '%post_url%', // redirect to new post url
'new_post' => array( //option for new post
'post_type' => 'proposals', //creates a new post in "Proposals" CPT
'post_status' => 'draft', //
'post_author' => $author_id //assigns author as the person logged in
),
'submit_value' => 'Create Proposal'
);
//loads the ACF fields with above settings
acf_form( $args );
I tried the second option, but I got the same outcome. All of the fields populate on creation except for the calculations, since they can’t get the values for the other fields.
