update a field when using acf/update_value/ filter. I am updating a field via PHP. I can watch the update of this field and execute most code as expected however i am unable to update another field with ACF’s “update_field”.

So the question is how can i watch a field change and change another depending on the watched fields value?

Sample Code:

add_filter(‘acf/update_value/name=my_field_name’, ‘my_awesome_function’, 10, 3);

function my_awesome_function($value, $post_id, $field) {
if ($value = ‘123’) {
// UPDATE ANOTHER ACF FIELD HERE!
update_field(‘another_field’, ‘new value’, $post_id);
}
return $value;

}
