This is my code:

$date_meta = array();
$date_meta['field_5b21449202e42'] = 'date'; //event_date_type
$date_meta['field_5b2145b902e43'][0] = array( //event_single_day
        'field_5b21463202e44' => $date, //event_date
        'field_5b2146c83d961' => array( //event_time
            0 => array(
                'field_5b2147733d964' => $time, //event_start_time
                'field_5b2147af3d965' => $time, //event_end_time
                )
            )
        );
update_field( 'field_5b21463202e44', $date_meta, $id ); //event_date
error_log( print_r( get_field( 'field_5b21463202e44', $id ), true ) );

error_log shows “false”.

If I look at the raw fields, “event_date” has the array stored as an array and none of the ACF FIELDs are created.
