relationship_query and Taxonomy

Hi,

I use to use this function to apply a custom filter to a relation field ‘cxcpt_client_user’:

function my_relationship_query( $args, $field, $post_id ) { 
	$args = array(
	'order'          => 'ASC',
	'orderby'        => 'display_name',
	        'meta_query' => array(
            array(
                'key' => 'cxcpt_user_client',
                'value' =>  '',
                'compare' => '=',
           	 	),
        	),
	    );    
    return $args;  
}
add_filter('acf/fields/user/query/name=cxcpt_client_user', 'my_relationship_query', 10, 3);

The relation field is located into a custom Taxonomy and is linked with the User list: it only generates user which has no value into the field ‘cxcpt_user_client’.

The problem is that the relation field is always empty. Why ? I guess that is because the post_id used by the function ‘my_relationship_query( $args, $field, $post_id )’ is formated like: ‘term_54′ instead of ’54’ because it provides from a TAXONOMY (not as usual: a POST).

Is there any way to fix it?

thanks
