Hi James,
Thanks for the quick response. However, I have created a brand new installation of Twentyseventeen and tested with the default post and page with no other plugins installed and I get the same issue.

In this situation, I have added a Field Group to POSTS with a single Post Object field:

In my functions file, I have the following filter to exclude the Sample Page with an ID of 2:

But when I select the Field on a post, you can see that the Sample Page is still available for selection:

What am I doing wrong?

Appreciate your help and have a great Christmas ;o)

Hi Elliot, I have the answer:

function my_function( $value ) {
    if ( empty( $value ) ) :
	$value = $_POST['fields']['field_5252ea93ea1f6'] . $_POST['fields']['field_5252aeaf0a86b'];
        return $value;
    endif;
    return $value;
}
add_filter('title_save_pre', 'my_function');

Sorry for the Newbie questions and thanks for your help.

Regards, Ian.

Hi Elliot thanks for the heads-up and first-class support.

For those that are interested, I resolved my issue with the following code:

function MY_FUNCTION_NAME( $value ) {
	if ( !$value ) : // IF VALUE EMPTY, RETURN NEW VALUE
		$value = get_field( 'MY_CUSTOM_FIELD_NAME', $POST_ID) );
		return $value;
	endif;
		return $value; // RETURN EXISTING VALUE
};
add_filter( 'acf/load_value/name=MY_CUSTOM_FIELD_NAME', 'MY_FUNCTION_NAME' );

Thanks Elliot, that make a lot of sense… I’m new to backend development so I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction for using the $_POST array and field key?

I’ve tried the following code without success:

function my_function( $value ) {
    if ( empty( $value ) ) :
        return $_POST['field_5252ea93ea1f6'] .  $_POST['field_5252aeaf0a86b'];
    endif;
    return $value;
}
add_filter('title_save_pre', 'my_function');

Am I going off in the completely wrong direction?

Thanks, Ian.

OK, so this works on UPDATE but not on PUBLISH when the initial post is created:

function my_function( $value ) {
    if ( empty( $value ) ) :
        return get_field( "firstname" ) .  get_field( "lastname" );
    endif;
    return $value;
}
add_filter('title_save_pre', 'my_function');

Any ideas anyone?
