Ok, got it I haven’t seen acf_add_local_field()
in the docs. Maybe mention it on pair with in the update_field() doc. (maybe it’s there, I’m lazy to look it up)
It wasn’t really an issue, but a feature suggestion.
I wrote error tracking that parses the ACF JSON-s so fields must match, otherwise it explodes 🙂
Hello, I want to store data in my ACF field structure. I used these two lines:
add_post_meta( $insert_id, $field, $value );
add_post_meta( $insert_id, '_'.$field, $acf_fields[ $field ] );
Thanks I’ll look into it.
I think the ACF admin needs some improvement, because it shouldn’t allow me to save something that’s guaranteed to not work.
I’ll try to update.
Right, there’s another flexible type for the page:
