  • Hi @suavedan,

    Thanks for the post.

    I would recommend you make use of the acf/save_post action instead and then update the post title like so:

    //Auto add and update Title field:
      function my_post_title_updater( $post_id ) {
    
        $my_post = array();
        $my_post['ID'] = $post_id;
            
            $home = get_field("home_team");
    	$away = get_field("away_team");
    	$date = get_field("game_date");
    
    	$title = $home." @ ".$away." - ".$game_date;
    	$slug = sanitize_title($title); 
    
    	$previewdata = array(
        	'ID'          => $post_id,
        	'post_type'   => 'game_preview',
       	 	'post_title'  => $title,
    	  	'post_name'   => $slug
      	);
    
    	wp_update_post($previewdata);
    
      }
       
      // run after ACF saves the $_POST['fields'] data
      add_action('acf/save_post', 'my_post_title_updater', 20);
