ACF fields from "parent" post are being saved to auto-created posts

Not sure if this is a bug or just something to look out for.

I’ve got an ACF called “status” – when the “status” is changed and the post is updated it triggers a new CPT post to be automatically created. When this happens I found that $_POST variable contained the “status” ACF and it was being saved into the new CPT post.

I tried unset($_POST); and that avoided the issue.

Hi @locomo

Thanks for the bug report.

Can you please provide the code you are using to hook in and create the new post object?

Thanks
