Hi @ryandorn

To move the field, you need to use Javascript. It should be something like this:

<script type="text/javascript">
(function($) {
    
    $(document).ready(function(){
        
        $('.comment-form-comment').before( $('.acf-field-1234567890abc') );
        
    });
    
})(jQuery);    
</script>

Where “.acf-field-1234567890abc” is based on your field key.

To check if acf/save_post action hook is processing the comment, you can check if the post ID starts with “comment_”. Here’s an example how to do that:

function my_acf_save_post( $comment_string_id ) {
    
    // Do it only for comment
    if( substr($comment_string_id, 0, 8) === 'comment_' ){
        update_field('field_name', 'the value', $comment_string_id);
    }
    
}

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

I hope this helps 🙂
