Hi I have successfully added a custom text box setting and associated it to a radio button as per the below documentation: https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/adding-custom-settings-fields/

i can display the value by using the get field object:

get_field_object($name);
$customFieldValue = $getCurrentObject['custom_field'];
echo $customFieldValue;

I want to update the new custom text box field programatically in a similar way as you would the value of the radio button:

update_field( $key, $value, $postId);

The above would be used to update the values of the radio field options, but how can i update the value of the custom text field “custom_field”?

Any help appreciated, Thanks in advance

Finally got it by using:
$value = “My new value”
$field = get_field_object(‘name_of_field’,$postId);
$field[‘custom_field_name’] = $value;
acf_update_field($field);
