I’ve already checked the source code, but I’ve not been able to find this.
So for now I made the step to the given link above, but I can’t seem to get this to work with acf_form(). Is there something I need to add to the options?
I pasted the following in functions.php:

acf_add_local_field_group(array (
			'key' => 'group_1',
			'title' => 'My Group',
			'fields' => array (
				array (
					'key' => 'field_1',
					'label' => 'Sub Title',
					'name' => 'sub_title',
					'type' => 'text',
					'prefix' => '',
					'instructions' => '',
					'required' => 0,
					'conditional_logic' => 0,
					'wrapper' => array (
						'width' => '',
						'class' => '',
						'id' => '',
					),
					'default_value' => '',
					'placeholder' => '',
					'prepend' => '',
					'append' => '',
					'maxlength' => '',
					'readonly' => 0,
					'disabled' => 0,
				)
			),
			'location' => array (
				array (
					array (
						'param' => 'post_type',
						'operator' => '==',
						'value' => 'book',
					),
				),
			),
			'menu_order' => 0,
			'position' => 'normal',
			'style' => 'default',
			'label_placement' => 'top',
			'instruction_placement' => 'label',
			'hide_on_screen' => '',
		));

book is a post type that I created.
And this is what I use to create the form:

$options = array(

    	/* (int|string) The post ID to load data from and save data to. Defaults to the current post ID.
    	Can also be set to 'new_post' to create a new post on submit */
    	'post_id' => 'new_post',
    	'form_attributes' => array( // attributes will be added to the form element
        'class' => ''
      ),

    	/* (array) An array of post data used to create a post. See wp_insert_post for available parameters.
    	The above 'post_id' setting must contain a value of 'new_post' */
    	'new_post' =>  array(
    						'post_type'		=> $_POST['type'],
    						'post_status'		=> $post_status
    					),

    	/* (boolean) Whether or not to show the post title text field. Defaults to false */
    	'post_title' => true,

    	/* (boolean) Whether or not to show the post content editor field. Defaults to false */
    	'post_content' => true,

    	/* (boolean) Whether or not to create a form element. Useful when a adding to an existing form. Defaults to true */
      	'form' => false
      );
    acf_form($options);

Thanks for your help so far!
