Hi!

So I’m encountering the exact same problem.

I add all the meta fields to _wp_post_revision_fields

add_filter('_wp_post_revision_fields', function ($fields, $post) {
    if ($post && $post['post_type'] === 'visit') {
        $json = TEMPLATEPATH.'/acf-json/group_5b311d2d73933.json';

        if (is_file($json)) {
            $visits_fields = json_decode(file_get_contents($json));

            if (is_array($visits_fields) && $visits_fields->fields) {
                foreach ($visits_fields->fields as $field) {
                    if ($field->name) {
                        $fields[$field->name] = $field->label;
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

    return $fields;
}, 10, 2);

Everything works as expected on the admin side, but when updating “visit” from the fontend – a revision is created, but no “change”.

When I edit post from backend then revision is also created but shows all the custom fields also which were added via the filter.

I don’t use the acf_form on frontend. Just a simple custom form and wp_insert/update_post and update_field(“<hash>”, value); functions.
