Hi @davidcie

For something like that, you need to add an extra setting on the field group editor by using the acf/render_field_group_settings hook. After that, you need to loop through the field groups on the post/page editor screen. It should be something like this:

// Add additional setting option for meta box title
add_action('acf/render_field_group_settings', 'my_acf_add_field_group_title');
function my_acf_add_field_group_title($field_group){
    acf_render_field_wrap(array(
        'label'            => __('Meta Box Title','acf'),
        'instructions'    => __('Add meta box title','acf'),
        'type'            => 'text',
        'name'            => 'metaboxtitle',
        'prefix'        => 'acf_field_group',
        'value'            => ( isset($field_group['metaboxtitle']) ) ? $field_group['metaboxtitle'] : '',
    ));
}

// Change the meta box title based on the new option
function my_acf_change_metabox_title($field_groups){
    
    // get the current screen data
    $current_screen = get_current_screen();
    
    // only do this if the current screen is for a certain post type
    if( $current_screen->post_type == 'post' ){
        
        // loop through the available field groups
        foreach( $field_groups as $k => $field_group ){
            
            // if the new title is set and not empty, change the original title
            if( isset($field_group['metaboxtitle']) && !empty($field_group['metaboxtitle']) ){
                $field_groups[$k]['title'] = $field_group['metaboxtitle'];
            }
        }
    }
    
    // return the data
    return $field_groups;
    
}
add_filter('acf/get_field_groups', 'my_acf_change_metabox_title');

I hope this helps 🙂
