Hi,

I’ve managed to dynamically update a select field using functions php but I’m struggling to do the same inside a plugin. I would like the filter to run on page load but nothing happens as I think the $field is returning empty.

function outcome_admin_page() {

  if (!current_user_can('manage_options'))  {
    wp_die( __('You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.')    );
  }

  echo '<div class="wrap">';

  echo '<h2>CPT Merged Data Table</h2>';

  acf_form_head();

  acf_form(array(
        'post_id'		=> 'new_post',
        'post_title'	=> true,
        'new_post'		=> array(
          'post_type'		=> 'outcome',
          'post_status'		=> 'publish'
        ),
        'submit_value'		=> 'Create a new outcome'
      ));

      linked_outcome_add_iframe( $field );
}

function linked_outcome_add_iframe( $field ){

    echo $field;
    $outcome_posts = get_posts(
      array(
          'posts_per_page' => -1,
          'post_type' => 'outcome',
          'order' => 'DESC',
          'orderby' => 'title'

      )
  );
  if(!empty($outcome_posts)){
    foreach($outcome_posts as $outcome_post){

      $variable = get_field('outcome_post_title', $outcome_post->ID);
      echo $variable;
      $field['choices'][$variable] = $variable;
    }
  }

    return $field;
}
add_filter('acf/load_field/key=field_5bbe31e6eb5fb', 'linked_outcome_add_iframe');

I’m not quite sure how to accomplish this – any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks,
D

Would it be possible to just do in a standard page template also?
