Hello.

I have a similar problem with ACFPro (but not with subfield): when adding a custom post type with wp_insert_post() (with status “PENDING”!) and then calling multiple

update_field('field_key','value', $post_id).

I have a ‘transition_post_status’ hook that sends email when post just became “new” -> “pending”. But here,
get_field('field_key', $ID);
returns empty string (even if I use field id instead of key)!

Any ideas / suggestions?

Thanks!
