Hi @trouille2

In this case, you need to create a text field to store the zip code and use the geocoder to get it. Here’s an example how to do that:

// set zipcode to certain field
add_action('acf/input/admin_footer', 'my_acf_get_address_zipcode');

function my_acf_get_address_zipcode() {
    ?>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    (function($) {
        
        // do this when the map is changed
        acf.add_action('google_map_change', function( latlng, $map, $field ){
            
            // get the address using the geocoder
            acf.fields.google_map.geocoder.geocode({ 'latLng' : latlng }, function( results, status ){
				
                // get the zip code from the returned address
                var address = results[0].address_components;
                var zipcode = address[address.length - 1].long_name;
                
                // set it to a text field
                $(".acf-field-1234567890abc input").val(zipcode);
		    
			});
                    
        });
        
    })(jQuery);    
    </script>
    <?php    
}

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

I hope this helps 🙂
