Hello there. I’m working on migration tool for huge project (500K+ post types) and everything was fine till I found that using field name isn’t perfect solution as in the backend (post edit screen) the values where updated, but on the frontend not always. I found that it’s generally better to use field keys, but the quick question from me is: should I do something like:
<?php
// Check if there is a second row in 'nr_tel'
if (isset($nr_tel_values[1])) {
// Get the second row's 'numer' value
$phone_additional = $nr_tel_values[1]['numer'];
// Update the 'phone_additional' field with the 'numer' value
update_field('phone_additional', $phone_additional, $post_id);
// Update the 'phone_additional' field by it's field key with the 'numer' value
update_field('field_64ac308220c5a', $phone_additional, $post_id);
}
?>
Is that good way or should I use update_field() just once with field key?
Best regards, Paul
Use only the field key, there is no need to update the field twice, this will just slow down performance.
