Hi @biomedikal
Perhaps you could use the update_value filter to run a custom save function.
The update_value filter is run on every value you save with ACF. It’s native functionality is to save the value to the database, however, you can hook in and do what ever you want.
Jump over to the docs and check out the filter. You will be able to look at the value saving, and extract the month / year (with an explode function) and then use the native update_postmeta function to save the value to the post!
Good luck
