Hi,

I’ve been searching for a while, but I only found a way to create new Field Types.

Is it possible to add an extra (text) field to an existing field type?

I am using the taxonomy field type as a child of flexible content. When calling the get_field_object, it would be nice to have the new field inside the value array:

[term_id] => 3
[name] => Basketball
[slug] => basketball
[term_group] => 0
[term_taxonomy_id] => 3
[taxonomy] => category
[description] => 
[parent] => 0
[count] => 6
[filter] => raw
[KEY_NEW_FIELD] => VALUE NEW FIELD

Thanks!

This is not possible. If you want fields with additional settings that can be edited with editing a post or whatever, then you need to create a new field type. https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/creating-a-new-field-type/
