Groups and custom columns when filtering

FYI, some info about Groups and custom columns when filtering. It seems retrieving the Group values won’t work when the admin listings page gets filtered, because that’s creating a ‘post’ and not a ‘get’. Here is the code that i had (which worked great when the listings page rendered:

			// Display the value of the custom fields in the custom columns
			public function display_custom_column_content($column_name, $post_id) {
					$general_info = get_field('general_info', $post_id);

					switch ($column_name) {
							case 'bedrooms':
									$value = $general_info['bedrooms'];
									echo $value ? esc_html($value) : '-';
									break;
							case 'bathrooms':
									$value = $general_info['bathrooms'];
									echo $value ? esc_html($value) : '-';
									break;
							case 'size':
									$value = $general_info['size'];
									echo $value ? esc_html(number_format($value) . ' sq. ft.') : '-';
									break;
							case 'lot_size':
									$value = $general_info['lot_size'];
									echo $value ? esc_html(number_format($value) . ' sq. ft.') : '-';
									break;
							case 'price':
									$value = $general_info['price'];
									echo $value ? esc_html('$' . number_format($value, 0, '.', ',')) : '-';
									break;
							default:
									echo '-';
									break;
					}
			}

And here is the solution (which is to use get_post_meta with the proper field name of having the group field name precede the sub field name. Here is the updated code that worked for me:

			// Display the value of the custom fields in the custom columns
			public function display_custom_column_content($column_name, $post_id) {

					switch ($column_name) {
							case 'bedrooms':
									$value = get_post_meta($post_id, 'general_info_bedrooms', true);;
									echo $value ? esc_html($value) : '-';
									break;
							case 'bathrooms':
									$value = get_post_meta($post_id, 'general_info_bathrooms', true);;
									echo $value ? esc_html($value) : '-';
									break;
							case 'size':
									$value = get_post_meta($post_id, 'general_info_size', true);
									echo $value ? esc_html(number_format($value) . ' sq. ft.') : '-';
									break;
							case 'lot_size':
									$value = get_post_meta($post_id, 'general_info_lot_size', true);
									echo $value ? esc_html(number_format($value) . ' sq. ft.') : '-';
									break;
							case 'price':
									$value = get_post_meta($post_id, 'general_info_price', true);
									echo $value ? esc_html('$' . number_format($value, 0, '.', ',')) : '-';
									break;
							default:
									echo '-';
									break;
					}
			}
