update “instructions” for a field after load if certain fields are filled out?

OR

update message field.

What im trying to do is.
If a certain field in the admin post area is filled out i want to take that data and present it as a external link under the instruction text.

I think you could do this with some custom JavaScript loaded on the admin page via admin_enqueue_scripts.

Say your field is named “my_field”, you could try something like this (using jQuery):

if ( $("#acf-field-my_field").val() ) {
 $("#acf-my_field .label").append("My new text here");
}

Haven’t tested it but that’s where I’d start.

Thanks yeah i solved it that way….

function my_head_input()
{
    ?>
    <style type="text/css">
    .field {width:50%; display:inline-block; vertical-align: top; -moz-box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-box-sizing: border-box; box-sizing: border-box; padding:10px !important;}
    .field_type-repeater,.field_type-true_false {width:100%; padding: 10px 0!important;}

    </style>

    <script type="text/javascript">
    jQuery(document).ready(function(){
    "use strict";
        var isbn = jQuery('#acf-field-isbn').val();
        if (isbn) {
            jQuery('#acf-isbn p').append('<br><a href="http://www.bokrondellen.se/'+isbn+'.aspx" target="_blank"> Boklänk till Bokrondellen '+isbn+'</a>');
        }
    });
    </script>
    <?php
}

add_action('acf/input/admin_head', 'my_head_input');
