I am trying to setup a customized backend function which is actually based on an acf enhanced custom type.
I placed a page to “/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=event&page=event_log” (by using add_submenu_page). Here I used acf_form to output a group. works without any problems. One of the fields is a relations to the users entity.

Anyway here the “Ajax” Callback does NOT goes to admin-ajax.php but actually to the current page ! So I assume there some snipple missing to define the ajax-callback URL.

Already including acf_form_head(), but what is the missing piece here ? Any JavaScript missing ?

best

I had the same issue.
I fix it by adding this function

add_action('admin_enqueue_scripts', 'on_admin_enqueue_scripts' );

function on_admin_enqueue_scripts() {

  global $pagenow;
  if ( 'edit.php' != $pagenow || $_GET['page'] != 'event_log' ) {
    return;
  }

  wp_enqueue_script('acf-input');
  
}
