Hi @razider

I believe you can use the acf/update_field_group and acf_update_field() function to do that. Here’s a simple example you can try:

add_action('acf/update_field_group', 'my_acf_add_custom_field');
function my_acf_add_custom_field($field_group){
    
    // set ID of field groups you want to update
    $field_group_ids = array(4002);
    
    // loop through the IDs
    foreach( $field_group_ids as $field_group_id ){
        
        // set the new field data
        $field = array(
            'key' => 'field_1',
            'label' => 'Sub Title',
            'name' => 'sub_title',
            'type' => 'text',
            'parent' => $field_group_id
        );
        
        // add the field
        $field_id = acf_update_field($field);
        
    }
    
}

I hope this helps 🙂
