I’m trying to add ACF information to a column in the edit screen for a custom post type (Events) via the functions.php file of my theme. The issue is that the info I’m looking to add is from a post_object field and is returning the post ID rather than the title.

Here’s the code I’m using:

function change_columns( $cols ) {
  $cols = array(
    'cb'          => '<input type="checkbox" />',
    'event_date'  => __( 'Event Date', 'trans' ),
    'venue'       => __( 'Event', 'trans' ),
    'city'        => __( 'City', 'trans' ),
    'artist'      => __( 'Artist', 'trans' ),
  );
  return $cols;
}
add_filter( "manage_event_posts_columns", "change_columns" );

function custom_columns( $column, $post_id ) {
  switch ( $column ) {
    case "event_date":
      $date = get_field('event_date');          
      echo date("F j, Y (l)", strtotime($date));
      break;
    case "venue":
      echo get_post_meta( $post_id, 'venue_name', true);
      break;
    case "city":
      echo get_post_meta( $post_id, 'city_&_country', true);
      break;
    case "artist":
      echo get_post_meta( $post_id, 'artist', true);
      break;
  }
}
add_action( "manage_posts_custom_column", "custom_columns", 10, 2 );

The result can be seen in the attached screenshot. How can I echo the title of the post_object called in the “artist” column instead of its ID?

This solved my question!
