Update a field when post is created

I have a CPT called House which includes an ACF text field: user-email

I also have an ACF User meta field: house-id

When a user creates a House post I need to update their user meta field: house-id with the ID of the post they created

How would I do that?

Thanks, Richard

Hi Richard,

This might be some help:
updating-user-meta-on-save-post

You’ll be looking at creating a function that uses the WordPress save_post hook, more info on that here.

Not a complete answer I know, but it’ll hopefully give you some direction.

Cheers, Dan
