Hi @jacobraccuia

Thanks for the post.

You are right, the field type does not contain a default_value argument within its settings array. As a workaround, you could load the new value to the ‘value’ array like so:

add_filter('acf/load_field/key=field_58f0632672126', 'rel_field');
function rel_field($field) {

	$slider_id = isset($_GET['slider_id']) ? $_GET['slider_id'] : null;
	if(isset($slider_id)) {
	    $field['value'] = $value;	//pass an array with the new value(s)	
	}
	
	return $field;
}
