This has to be simple, but I can’t find it in the docs.

How to I pull the data from a field in an options page into a field in another field group that is used in a page/post editor?

I have a “Choice” field in the Field Group used for the page/post editor, and a field in the Options Field Group that contains the choices that I want to use.

Is there a shortcode that I put in the field group that calls the contents of the field in the Options Group? Or do I need a PHP function for functions.php?

Hi @markratledge

I believe you are talking about how to create dynamic choices for a field. In this case, could you please check this documentation: https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/dynamically-populate-a-select-fields-choices/?

Hope this helps 🙂
