ACF Form conditional status based on checkbox; Title not populated for drafts

  • I’m using acf_form to create posts on a page from the frontend. I’m also using acf/pre_save_post and checking a field to determine if the post should be a draft or pending status. Everything is working EXCEPT when I check the box to save the post as a draft, no title gets populated. Anyone have any ideas what I could be doing wrong? I’m using an additional field to populate the title — which works for when the status is pending, but not draft…

    
    <?php
    /**
     * Template Name: Lesson Creation
     *
     * Page template to display the lesson creation form.
     *
     */
    
      function thad_pre_save_post( $post_id ) {
    
         // check if this is to be a new post
         if( $post_id != 'new' ) {
    
             return $post_id;
         }
    
        // Get the Fields
        $fields = get_field_objects( $post_id );
    
         // is 'save as draft' checkbox field checked?
        if (isset($_POST['acf']['field_5e679c6df913d'])) {
    
          switch ($_POST['acf']['field_5e679c6df913d']) {
            case "1":
              $post_status = 'draft'; // post is correctly saved as 'draft' status
              $post_title  = $_POST['acf']['field_5e67ae0b70e42']; // post title field does not work
              break;
            case "":
              $post_status = 'pending'; // post is correctly saved as 'pending' status
              $post_title  = $_POST['acf']['field_5e67ae0b70e42']; // post title field works
              break;
          }
    
        }

  • I was able to solve my own problem…

    Rather than adding the title like I did above, I modified the array to create the post:

    'post_title' => $_POST['acf']['field_5e67ae0b70e42'],
