Hi @hube2,
Thanks, this was helpful.
I need to rephrase my issue and explain it a bit better.
I need to show an ACF form on the front-end to add/edit posts of custom type “Application”. Fields “Job” and “Company” are pre-selected and must be always blocked or marked as read-only (user can’t change them), but I don’t know how I can do it with a Post Object field type (and whether it’s possible at all).
I tried smth like this:
acf.add_action('select2_init', function($input, args, settings, $field){
if ($field.hasClass('application-job')) {
args.disabled = true;
settings.disabled = true;
args.readonly = true;
settings.readonly = true;
}
});
Unfortunately, none of this worked.
On the back-end fields “Job” and “Company” must be enabled and required so an administrator cannot leave them empty.
If you have an idea how I can reach this goal, please share 🙂
As the last possible (alternative) solution I can do the following:
Create another fields group, where both Post Object fields are replaced by Text fields. Text fields can be made read-only very easily. This field group will be shown only on the front-end.
And my task would be just to synchronize them on post update.
