Hi,
is there a way to uniquely identify a flexible content layout instance?
When i hook into save_post i can see that the entries in the flexible content field do seem to have a unique identifier (although the last character just seems to be an index value), but when i later retrieve the content of the field, even in raw mode, i only get the index and not the unique identifier.
I would need an identifier for a layout that is unique for that FC field at least, and does not change when the layouts are reordered.
As i haven’t found anything like it in the docs i started adding an automatically added, hidden, unique identifier to all layouts and use that one, but i was wondering if there is indeed already sth. like it in ACF PRO.
Cheers,
Lars
The id you are referring to is an ACF thing and may not always be the same. I do this as well so that I can give the containers of my flex field content ID values. What I do is add a text field that is read only and I populate that field with a unique identifier, very similar to the hidden field you are using. There is nothing built into ACF to do this.
