acf_form Updated Message + Return Parameter

Hi there,

I want to show an ‘update_message’ and change the ‘return’ value for an acf_form() so that it sends the user to the same page, but with a custom parameter.

In other words, if a user submits the acf_form() in question:

• URL Before Form Submit: ~/my-url/
• URL After Form Submit: ~/my-url/?my_param=true

I have this working via the code below:

<?php 

$options = array(
	'post_id'			=> 'new_post',
	'post_title'		=> false,
	'new_post'			=> array(
		'post_type'		=> 'my-cpt',
		'post_status'	=> 'my_status',
	),
	'field_groups'		=> array(
		1234
	),
	'submit_value' 		=> $submit_value,
	'updated_message'	=> $updated_text,
	'uploader'			=> 'wp',
	'return' 			=> '?my_param=true&updated=true'
	//'return' 			=> '?my_param=true' // Without the &updated=true param above, the 'updated message' doesn't show
);
acf_form($options);

My Question: If I want to send the user to the same page on which they submit an acf_form(), must I always include the updated=true URL parameter to show the ‘updated_message‘ or can this message also be triggered to show via other parameters?

Thanks in advance!
