I’m afraid is not working.. wordpress is no longer loading!
Questions: where do I set the custom field name?
Oh and for the moment learning to create a plugin is beyond my learning scope right now..

I have so far:

function my_acf_prepare_field( $field ) {
  $field['readonly'] = true; // optionally make the field read-only
  if ( $field['Madrid'] ) { return $field; } // bail if field has a value already
  $for_user = 2;
  $current_user_id = (int)get_current_user_id();
  if ( $current_user_id != $for_user ) { return $field; } // bail if not specified user
  $ip = my_get_field_function();
  if ( $ip ) {
    $field['value'] = $ip;
  }
  return $field;
}
add_filter('acf/prepare_field/name=region', 'my_acf_prepare_field');

// this functions gets the custom field value
function my_get_field_function() {
  if ( !empty( $field] ) ) {
    $field_value = $field;
  } else if ( !empty( 'Madrid' ) ) {
    $field_value = 'Madrid';
  } else {}
  return $field_value;
}
