Hi @sunilkushwaha01

Could you please share an example of the data from the CSV file? ACF saves two entries in the database, the field value:

field_name : value

And the reference:

_field_name : field_123456789abc

The reference is needed by ACF to get and update the data from and to the correct field. That’s because you can have multiple fields with the same name, but not the same key. Could you please make sure that the reference is being imported too?

If you still need to use the update_field() function, you can get the list of field keys like this:

$fields_list = array();

$fields_posts = get_posts(array(
    'posts_per_page' => -1,
    'post_type' => 'acf-field',
));

foreach($fields_posts as $fields_post){
    $fields_list[$fields_post->post_excerpt] = $fields_post->post_name;
}

print_r($fields_list);

I hope this helps 🙂
