Problem: acf / fields / post_object / query
Hello,
I have a back office problem to retrieve a post list with an acf (reference) custom field.
For now I managed to display the posts with the reference but it’s when I want to make a request that it does not work.

I used the following filter to retrieve references instead of post names:

function my_post_object_result ($ title, $ post, $ field, $ post_id) {

    $ reference = get_field ('reference', $ post-> ID);

    return $ reference;
}

add_filter ('acf / fields / post_object / result', 'my_post_object_result', 10, 4);

it works well, but I can not use the filter to modify the search query:

function my_post_object_query ($ args, $ field, $ post_id) {
}
add_filter ('acf / fields / post_object / query', 'my_post_object_query', 10, 3);

How can I modify the query to get the reference rather than the name of the post?
Here is an image of my problem:

Here is an example of search with the name, it works and it displays the corresponding reference

ACF uses the built in search filter, the same search that is used when on the admin post list page and you search for a post there. In order to do this you need to modify the way that WP search posts. Try this https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/11758/extending-the-search-context-in-the-admin-list-post-screen
