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);
