Post-id doesn’t work as it should using a GET

Hello, I have a problem that is giving me a headache. I used the acf_form() function to create a custom form on the front end, using a variable post-id through a GET. I thought everything had worked out, if it weren’t for the fact that the form is taking that id, and saving it somewhere else, I don’t know which, but it certainly isn’t updating the custom post with the id determined in the GET. (The strange thing is that when I change the id in the GET it changes the form, but I have no idea which post it is taking and changing as they are not the ones I wanted.)

Everything seems to work normally, with the execution of editing and saving the correct item

Here is the code used:

<?php
$postid = $_GET['postid'];
acf_form(array(
'post_id' => $postid,
'fields' => array('target','target_year'),
'submit_value' => __("Save")
));?>


Thank you for your help

I honestly don’t see why it’s not working.

Try changing this
$postid = $_GET['postid'];
to
$postid = intval($_GET['postid']);
