Hi, I”m having a similar issue / need with a radio button.
Once set “on” I want a relationship field populated.
I’ve been hammering on the
acf.ajax.update
but not sure what your 'cpt'
is, is it the field name? field ID?
And does this update your field automatically? I tried with both my relationship field, and a test input (text) field.. could not figure out how to set value.
Having this issue.. creating ACF fields save fine, but when go to a page it does not save.. I noticed it is my theme, switched over to another theme and it saved on the page without trouble.
Thought it was just Flexible Content.. but tested with a text input field, and had the same issue.
Running ACF 5.1.3
WP 4.0.1
