Hi @saavedrajj
The gallery field expects the value to be saved as an array of attachment ID’s.
What you will need to do is loop through your images, and use a WP function (check google / WP codex) to insert the attachment. I have done this before, but can’t rember the function name. That function will return you an attachment ID which you can use to then later save an array via the update_field function.
Hope that helps.
Thanks

ACF wouldn’t be so widely used in WordPress if it didn’t have some pretty amazing capabilities. In this article, we look at a few of the features we’ll discuss during “7 things you didn’t know you could do with ACF” at #WPEDecode later this month. https://t.co/5lnsTxp81j pic.twitter.com/Yf0ThPG1QG
