Dear,

We are currently struggling with a autofill option using the Post Object field. What we have so far:

We are using the acf_form to display the back-end editor in the front end of the page. The only thing we would like to add is a functionallity to autofill in the related posts to that discussion field, which we are using the post object for but currently it is a selectable field, what we would like is to autofill in that field by the post id (which we already have)

Thanks in advanced!

You need to add an acf/prepare_field filter. In this filter your can populate $field['value'] with an array of post IDs that you want to set.

You can do this only on the front end by adding a condition at the top of your filter

if (is_admin()) {
  return $field;
}
