Hi,
i have an ACF user field hidden, and i would like to automatically set it with the user logged value. I think i must use acf/load_value but i don’t understand how.
Thanks for help

I would use an acf/load_field filter and set the “default_value” to the logged in user.

https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/acf-load_field/

add_filter('acf/load_field/key=field_123456', 'set_default_user', 20, 1);
function set_default_user($field) {
  $field['default_value'] = get_current_user_id();
  return $field;
}
