@wassy83 You are amazing man, using the hook is way easier and works perfectly.
I even followed your steps and made one for the CountDown timer:
//populate divi countdown timer with ACF date&time
add_filter('et_pb_module_shortcode_attributes', 'cd_divi_acf', 20, 3);
function cd_divi_acf($cd_props, $cd_atts, $cd_slug) {
$cd_module_slugs = array('et_pb_countdown_timer');
if (!in_array($cd_slug, $cd_module_slugs)) {
return $cd_props;
}
if ( 'players' == get_post_type() ) {
$cd_props['date_time'] = get_field('date&time', false, false);
return $cd_props;
}
else return $cd_props;
}
Thanks again.
