Hi @d_alinus2004

Yes, you can do it by using the acf/save_post hook. In this hook, you can check if there’s data in the dummy form or not and then create a new post by using the wp_insert_post() function. It should be something like this:

function my_acf_save_post( $post_id ) {
    
    // Only do this for "task" post type
    if( get_post_type($post_id) != 'task' ){
		return;
	}
    
    // Get the posted value
    $company_title = get_field('dummy_company_title_name');
    $company_custom_field = get_field('dummy_company_custom_field_name');
    
    // Check if there's posted data
    if( !$company_title ){
		return;
	}
    
    // Build the post data
    $the_post = array(
        'post_status'  => 'publish' ,
        'post_title'  => $company_title ,
        'post_type'  => 'company' ,
    );

    // insert the post
    $company_post_id = wp_insert_post( $the_post ); 
    
    // Update the custom field
    // "field_1234567890abc" is the field key of the fields in the company post
    update_field('field_1234567890abc', $company_custom_field, $company_post_id);
    
    // Remove the saved custom field value in the task post
    // "field_abcdefghijk123" is the field key of "dummy_company_title_name"
    // and "field_asdfghjklzx123" is the field
    // key of the "dummy_company_title_name" field
    update_field('field_asdfghjklzx123', '', $post_id);
    update_field('field_abcdefghijk123', '', $post_id);
    
    
}

// run after ACF saves the $_POST['acf'] data
add_action('acf/save_post', 'my_acf_save_post', 20);

If you don’t know how to code, I suggest you hire a developer to help you out with it, and I’d recommend looking for one on https://studio.envato.com/, https://www.upwork.com/, or https://codeable.io/.

Hope this helps 🙂
