I really searched the forum and stackoverflow, but I don’t get the point:

Trying to read a value from my fields and get an empty return. Why is this?

add_filter('acfe/upload_dir/name=dokumenten_upload', 'gp_directory', 10, 2);

function gp_directory($uploads, $field) {

	global $post;
	$doctype = get_field("doc_type", $post->ID );

	echo $post->ID;
	var_dump ($doctype);

}

“doc_type” ist the name of my field (a select field)
echo $post->ID prints the right value of the current post I create.

Thank you,
Michael

Ok, if I update a post, I get an value. This is the stored value on creation.
I think “get_field” does not work with the actual field value (if I create a new post). It reads the previously stored value(?)

How can I populate the value I just insert into the field?

Thank you,
Michael
