Reply To: ACF Field using WYSIWYG Editor

If you really want to allow pasting all of the items at once, or this was a requirement by the client, using what is available I would choose a textarea field and I would include instructions about putting each ingredient on a new line. Very similar to how the choice settings for radio, checkbox and select fields work in ACF. I would set the formatting of the text field to “No Formatting”. I would then parse the value of the field either by getting the value and parsing it or I’d build an acf/format value filter that would do the formatting so I don’t have to re-code the parsing or call a function.

add_filter ('acf/format_value/name=my_field_name', 'format_my_field_name', 20, 3);
function format_my_field_name($value, $post_id, $field) {
  if (!$value) {
    return $value;
  }
  $array = acf_decode_choices($value);
  if (!is_array($array) || empty($array)) {
    return $value;
  }
  ob_start();
  ?>
    <ul>
      <?php 
        foreach ($array as $line) {
          ?><li><?php echo $line; ?></li><?php 
        }
      ?>
    </ul>
  <?php 
  $value = ob_get_clean();
  return $value;
}
