It’s working by saving the string url. As it’s a text filetype, then I can’t use the File ACF feature to validate data in the backend. But no problem.
Love the plugin, thanks.
A breakthrough! Having seen another post comment, I changed the ACF date & file fields to Text and the values passed through and are visible in the backend.
It works, but is this the best way of achieving this? It means that the GF form does the validation work before storing the ACF fields as text. If I use the WP backend to add Minutes, I’d need to enter text without the date/file validation that those field-types give?
Received a note to not duplicate posts. I didn’t! I’d closed this one when I then realised it hadn’t worked. The 2nd post contained a new link.
Anyway, what I meant was: Having loaded the fields with GF (& I know they’re loading as I have a Page Template that displays them), if I go into the Edit Minutes page I’d expect to see the stored values in the field panel? I do if I store the fields using WP/ACF without GF. So I seem to be missing something?
Got it! Needed to use get_field, not get_post_custom_values.
But still not updating the WP Admin fields?
