Bricks - show only related ACF CPT fields?

How To
1

Hi everyone,

Hope someone can help me here. I have this big site, where there are multiple CPT’s. The problem I am facing is that whenever I go into a CPT post to link it to the fields, all the fields for all my CPTs show. Is there a way to only make the ones related to the exact post type show? It’s getting really confusing :sweat_smile:

I don’t think this is a matter related to bricks, but recently, I’ve been working on a website where I need to create multiple post types and custom fields. To restrict certain fields within a specific post type, you can customize them in field group (ACF). My english is not good so if you could provide me with an example for better understanding, perhaps I can assist you.

Hi, thanks for helping me :slight_smile: So this is my problem:

Everything for every single post type is under “ACF” and not labeled by their own post type. Even better if these wouldn’t even show if they’re not related to what you’re currently editing.

If I understood you correctly, this has already been addressed here: Feature Request: Separate ACF Fields by Post Type in Bricks Builder

Or you can just give each field a meaningful name that includes its cpt. Not ideal but works.

I have found this problem fixed when using the Jet engine. Why is it still so complicated on ACF?

This is also one way. And the way I use it is to name segments that have the same structure and have the same name. Although it can belong to many different categories, I only need to call it a name like {acf_title} to be able to use it. It might be a bit of a hassle to use but I would have had a lot more trouble naming it differently and using field clone of ACF :slight_smile:
