I’ve been looking and finding no answers, I’m trying to auto-populate an ACF field on user registration.

Basically, I want an ACF field to populate with a random string everytime a user registers.

The user doesn’t have an id so i can’t use the acf set value function and now im not sure I can do set that up

Found my solution (below)

function custom_user_profile_fields($user){
?>
<script>
(function($) {$(function() {
	document.getElementById("send_user_notification").checked = false;
	//JS HERE
});})( jQuery );
</script>
<?php
}
//add_action( 'show_user_profile', 'custom_user_profile_fields' );
//add_action( 'edit_user_profile', 'custom_user_profile_fields' );
add_action( "user_new_form", "custom_user_profile_fields" );
