Hello!

Can I get and use field_object without post?
I am making a CSV updating function and correcting ACF fields.
So there is no guarantee for existing a post.

$field_keys = array('field_54af8ca08b1d9');
foreach($field_keys as $field_key) {
  $object = get_field_object($field_key); // <= this raises a warning.
}

Any ideas?

You can get all the fields in a field group if you know the group key.

$fields = acf_get_fields('group_557b7c925ca6b')

You can then loop through the fields (and recurse through sub fields) to find the field you’re looking for.

@hube2 Thank you for your reply.

The project was ended, I will try your idea at next time.

Thank you!
