Hello,

Iam looking to set a field (event_month) to the month and year based on another ACF called (event_date) do I do this on save?

Is something along the lines of this correct? https://gist.github.com/rveitch/9018669face1686e74aaa68026856f36

Cheers

So ive managed to get it working using the following. Any suggestions?

function set_event_month($post_id, $post, $update) {
    
    $event_date = get_field('event_date_start', $post_id, FALSE ,FALSE); // Event Start Date
    $event_date = new DateTime($event_date); 
    $event_date = $event_date->format('F Y'); // Format date to month and year
    update_field('event_month_year', $event_date); // Update field
    }
add_action('save_post', 'set_event_month', 10, 3);
