Hi !

I tried this function:

add_action('acf/save_post', 'save_watchlist');
function save_watchlist( $post_id ){

  // Get current user id
  $user = wp_get_current_user();
  $user_id = 'user_' . $user->ID;

  // bail early if editing in admin
  if( is_admin() ) {
    return;
  }

  // Get the data
  // /!\ Not working here!
  $hub_w_id = get_field('hub_w_id', $post_id);
  $hub_w_status = get_field('hub_w_status', $post_id);
  $hub_w_progress = get_field('hub_w_progress', $post_id);

  $row_value = array(
    'field_5ae1581e0a445' => $hub_w_id,
    'field_5ae1547af0a04' => $hub_w_status,
    'field_5ae1547af0a43' => $hub_w_progress,
  );

  // Set the fake post data
  $fake_post = array(
      'ID'          => $post_id,
      'post_type'   => 'post',
  );

  // Remove the hook to avoid infinite loop.
  remove_action('acf/save_post', 'save_watchlist');

  // Get user watchlist
  if( have_rows('watchlist_table', $user_id) ):
    while( have_rows('watchlist_table', $user_id) ): the_row();

      // vars
      $hub = get_sub_field('hub_w_id');

      // Add or update ?
      if ($hub_w_id == $hub) {
        $add = false;
        $row = get_row_index();
      } else {
        $add = '';
      }

    endwhile;
  endif;

  // Do it!
  if( isset($add) ) {
    update_row( 'watchlist_table', $row, $row_value, $user_id );
  } else {
    add_row( 'watchlist_table', $row_value, $user_id );
  }

  // Delete fake post
  wp_delete_post( $fake_post );

  // Add the hook back
  add_action('acf/save_post', 'save_watchlist');

}

My form:

acf_form(array(
   'post_id' => 'new_post',
   'new_post' => array(
     'post_type' => 'post',
     'post_status' => 'draft'
   ),
   'form' => false, // Add "hub_w_progress" input myself for dynamic min/max value
   'fields' => array('field_5ae014016d4f8'), // Only "hub_w_status" field
   'field_groups' => array(1852), 
));

…and It’s working! My only problem is to get fields from the watchlist form on hub page…

Of course, if you know a cleaner way to do it, tell me ! Thank you !
