Hidden field getting data from ACF
-
Hello,
I want to ask you whether or how to make the hidden fields send custom fields of the embedded page. I have found that I can get Page title meta data which is great, but I’d also like to be able to retrieve custom fields.I use ACF plugin.
Thank you for your help!
Best regardds,
Jan

Hello @mirackygmailcom,
Yes, you can do that too. You would need to create add a hidden field in the form first and then edit the post data field and enable custom fields section. There should be an option to select the hidden field you selected. Here is a screenshot for the same:

If you are looking to something else or if I missed something, I apologise for the same and request you to elaborate a bit more on it.
Thank you,

I gave a second thought and I thought you are looking to retrieve data. In that case, you can use the following mu-plugin:
<?php add_filter( 'forminator_field_hidden_field_value', function( $value, $saved_value, $field ){ if( ! empty( $field['default_value'] ) && 'custom_value' === $field['default_value'] && strpos( $value, 'acf_' ) !== false ){ $field_keys = explode('acf_', $value ); $post_id = false;//default is current post/page $value = get_field( $field_keys[1], $post_id ); } return $value; }, 10, 3 );After add this custom code, you can add in a hidden field this custom value acf_[field_key], e.g: acf_job_title
Let me know your views on it.
Thank you,
