Hi @poorpaddy
ACF PRO saves the date time picker field in a MySQL’s date time format (yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss). So, you need to change how you get the current date time and the ‘type’ query like this:
$currentdate = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
...
'type' => 'DATETIME',
This page should give you more idea about it: https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/date-time-picker/.
I hope this helps 🙂
