Edit link for clone fields

Hi there.
We are using ACF PRO in our project and I would like to suggest a useful in my opinion feature.

Many times when editing a field group to look for a specific field, we
realize that the field we are looking for is part of a different group which is
used via the ‘clone’ field. And we need to go back the the field groups list and look for the other cloned group.
Therefore it would be very convenient for the clone fields to link to it’s original group.
If this feature could be added an update, that would be awesome.

Thanks for the amazing plugin.

Hi @alexg

I’m afraid you need to use advanced JavaScript code to do that. Also, please keep in mind that ACF uses Select2 library.

If you think it’s something that ACF should have, could you please open a new ticket so your request can be passed to the plugin author? You can open a new ticket here: https://support.advancedcustomfields.com/new-ticket. Also, please don’t forget to explain your request again.

Thanks 🙂
