I have a Post Object field that allows for multiple references to 1 custom post type.
I set up some actions to watch for status changes using this pattern.
During this action I am sending some data to Algolia. I have noticed that I need to click “Update” twice for changes on this field to make its way to Algolia. Other field types on my record, Text, Textarea, Gallery all update immediately.
Is there any reason there would be this “lag” for the Post Object field type? I’ve tried changing it from a Post Object return to Post ID but that didn’t make a difference. I am using the get_field function to get the field data in all cases.
add_action('publish_product', 'on_product_publish', 10, 2);
I am using this to add the action. I have tried to set the priority to 99 to see if it was a priority issue, but that also didn’t help.
Any advice would be appreciated.
I continued to work through some other fields on the post, the Repeater field type also has this “lag”.
For post updates/publishing, looks like using the acf/save_post action was the one to use instead of the default WP ones.
