Hi

I have registered an ACF field as a Gutenberg-Block.

add_action('acf/init', 'my_acf_init');
function my_acf_init() {  
    if( function_exists('acf_register_block_type') ) {
        acf_register_block_type(array(
            'name'                => 'event-date',
            'title'                => __('Veranstaltungs-Datum'),
            'description'            => __('Veranstaltungs-Datum'),
            'render_template'   => 'block-rendering/events_date.php',
            'icon'                => 'format-image',
            'keywords'            => array( 'Event' ),
            'mode'                 => 'edit',
            'supports'          => array('multiple' => false, 'className' => true ), 
            'post_types' => array('events',),
        ));
 
    }    
}  

It is a repeater field with a date picker (and other fields).
Is there a way to automatically transfer the date from the Gutenberg block to another ACF field (not registered as a block)?

Thank you all!
Matthias

In simple case You can:

1. Add ID or Class to the fields: date sub-field and destination field. You can do it when edit field group
2. Use JS to synchronize values – example: https://codepen.io/uxbox/pen/VwvOXwL
