This my code wich not working 🙁

function update_user_select_field($value, $post_id, $field) {
  // Get the value of the text field
  $text_value = get_field('text_field', $post_id);

  // Check if the text value is equal to the desired value
  if ($text_value == 'desired_value') {
    // Set the value of the user select field to the desired user ID
    $value = 'desired_user_id';
  }

  // Return the updated value
  return $value;
}
add_filter('acf/update_value/key=user_select_field', 'update_user_select_field', 10, 3);
