    "CONTENT_TYPE": "image/jpeg",
    "FILE_SIZE": 75689,
    "FILE_CATEGORY_ID": null,
    "OWNER_USER_ID": 966691,
    "DATE_CREATED_UTC": "2017-05-26 15:13:04",
    "DATE_UPDATED_UTC": "2017-05-26 15:13:04",
    "URL": "/fileattachments/132892711",
    "CAN_EDIT": true,
    "CAN_DELETE": true
  },
  {

Hi @dweb

Thanks a lot for reaching out to us.

I’m not certain on your approach but you consider hooking into the acf\save_post hook with a priority of higher than 10.

From here you can manually alter the field values before they are saved.

Hope this helps.
