Hi there,

I have a field groups that was star rating fields. I am using the star rating plugin from here: https://github.com/kevinruscoe/acf-star-rating-field

Everything is working fine but I have several star rating fields in a field group and I have one field called total_rating which I aim to take the average of all the other star rating fields in the field group.

So for example, here are my fields:

cleanliness
check-in/check-out
breakfast
wifi
total_rating

Now, when I set all the fields except thetotal_rating field, I would like to assign a value to the total_rating field. I am using the acf/save_post action. Currently, I have this code:

add_action('acf/save_post', 'save_post', 20);

function save_post($post_id) {
    
    if (get_post_type($post_id) != 'post') {
      return;
    }

    error_log($post_id);
    error_log( print_r( $_POST['acf'], true ) );
  
}

Inside the function, I would like to be able to filter all the fields and loop through all five_star_rating fields so that I can could and get the average of the five_star_rating but I am not sure how to do it because the $_POST['acf'] only includes the field names and their respective values.

Thank you!
