Hi @kikadesign

For single value Taxonomy selection, you can set the return type to “Term Object” and then make use of this code:

function create_title( $post_id ) {
    // Set variables
    $term = get_field( 'ministry_name', $post_id );
    $name = $term->name;

    // Set post title and permalink
    $post_title = $name;
    

    // update the post, which calls save_post again
    wp_update_post( array(
        'ID'            => $post_id,
        'post_title'    => $post_title,
        'post_name'     => $post_name,
        )
    );
}

add_action( 'acf/save_post', 'create_title', 20 );
