Hey guys,

I’ve made it possible to gather and save all the values of the act fields by using the following code: (might not work directly in other code)

$.find('input, textarea, select').each(function () {
    var name = jQuery(this).attr("name");
    if (this.parentNode.nodeName === "LI") {
      if (!Array.isArray(post_data[name])) {
        post_data[name] = [];
      }
      post_data[name].push(jQuery(this).val());
    } else if (!post_data[name]) {
      post_data[name] = jQuery(this).val();
    }
    if (jQuery(this).attr("checked")) {
      post_data[name] = "checked";
    }
    if (this.selectedIndex>0 && this.options && this.options.length > 0) {
      console.log(this.selectedIndex);
      post_data[name] = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;
    }
  });

This code return’s the following values in version 5.3.2.2:

_acf_form: "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"

In version 5.3.3.2 it return’s this code:

_acf_form: "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"

Since the update to 5.3.3.2 somehow this code doesn’t work anymore.
The action ‘save_my_data’ refers to acf_form_head.

Does anyone have any idea how this is possible and what I have to change?

If you need more info please ask, I’m totally stuck on this!

Thanks a lot!

Hi Tim,

Looks like the same result after updating to 5.3.3.2? Or am I missing something..?
