I have a repeater with two field: post_type (select) and posts (post object). What I need is get the selected post type when the posts field is focused.

What I tried:

acf.add_filter('select2_ajax_data', function(data, args, $input, field){
  const post_type = acf.findFields({
    name: 'post_type',
    sibling: field.$el,
    limit: 1,
  });

  return data;
});

It get the correct field but always the first repeater item.

Found a solution:

JS

acf.add_filter('select2_ajax_data', function(data, args, $input, field){
  const post_type_field = acf.findFields({
    name: 'post_type',
    sibling: field,
    limit: 1,
  });
  const post_type_value = post_type_field.find($('select')).val();

  if (post_type_value) {
    data.post_type = post_type_value;
  }

  return data;
});

PHP

add_filter('acf/fields/post_object/query/name=featured_posts', function($args){
    if (!empty($_POST['post_type'])) {
        $args['post_type'] = esc_attr($_POST['post_type']);
    }  
 
    return $args;
});
