  • Thanks again. Done that

    function my_acf_save_post( $post_id ) {
        global $wp_query;
        $post_id = $wp_query->get_queried_object_id();
    	$acfDate = get_field('post_date', $post_id);
        //Test if you receive the data field correctly:
        //echo $acfDate;
        //exit (-1);
    	
        $my_post = array();
        $my_post['ID'] = $post_id;
        $my_post['post_date'] = $acfDate;
        $post = wp_update_post( $my_post );
    		if (is_wp_error($post)) {
    		  echo 'WP ERROR: <pre>'; print_r($wp_error); echo '</pre>'; die;
    		}
    
    }
    add_action('acf/save_post', 'my_acf_save_post', 20);
    

    But there seems to be no change in the behaviour of the acf-form – the post is still saved as draft – the custom date field is completed but the post’s publish details still say ‘Publish Immediately’ with today’s date…
