Dynamically filter Post Object field by using $_GET

  • Hello,

    I am trying to dynamically filter a Post Object field by post_parent. The problem I have is that inside the “acf/fields/post_object/query” filter $_GET params don’t seem to work.

    I also use “acf/load_field” filter to set the value of this field, also by using $_GET inside, and it works perfectly.

    Steps:
    1. Access the page: link/?pid=12 ==> $_GET[‘pid’] – this is the post_parent I would like to use
    2. On this page, I have a ACF form with a Post Object field
    3. I load a value on this field, by using “acf/load_field” filter and $_GET param – It works
    4. Inside the “acf/fields/post_object/query” I have this:
    $pid = (int) $_GET[‘pid’]; $args[“post_parent”]=$pid; return $args; – it doesn’t work
    If I write $args[“post_parent”]=12 – it works perfectly

    So the conclusion is that $_GET doesn’t work in “acf/fields/post_object/query”. But it works in “acf/load_field”.

    Do you have any idea how could I transmit a parameter inside “acf/fields/post_object/query”?
    $post_id doesn’t help, this is a generic add / edit post page. I am using $_GET params as identifiers.

    Thank you!
