Hi everyone,

I have custom fields on a specific type of posts.
One of those fields is a type: User.
It offers a dropdown with a search field that returns users.

The results are shown like that :
Firstname Lastname (nickname)
Firstname Lastname (nickname)
Firstname Lastname (nickname)

I would like to add the email next to nickname.
What would be the best way to do that?

Thank you

There is a filter hook acf/fields/user/result, it is not documented, but it works the same as acf/fields/post_object/result

Thank you!
For others here is what I did.

add_filter('acf/fields/user/result', 'my_acf_fields_user_text', 10, 4);
function my_acf_fields_user_text($text, $user, $field, $post_id){
    
    $args = array(
        'post_type' => 'MY_POST_TYPE',
        'order' => 'DESC',
        'posts_per_page' => 5,
        'paged' => 1,
        'meta_query' => array(  
            'relation' => 'AND',
            array(
                'key' => 'user_name',
                'value' =>$user->ID,
                'compare' => '=',
            ),
            array(
                'key' => 'META_TO_COMPARE',
                'value' =>0,
                'compare' => '=',
            ),
        ),
    );
    $posts = new WP_Query( $args );
    $nb_posts = $posts->found_posts;

    $text .= ' - ' . $user->user_email .  ' [' . $nb_posts . ' posts]';

    return $text;

}
